Re: SCUBA post resurfacing

I have a similar concern to Val re weight bearing. I'm a big guy,

dive maybe 2 or 3 times a year and always in a 5mm wetsuit, because

of the cold. Coming out of the water, I'm carrying a lot of

weight...did you feel any vulnerability in the new hip between when

you emerged from the water until you took your gear off? (BTW I've

only been diving for a couple of years).

Thanks

> I seem to remember that I dived some 8 weeks after the resurfacing

†" max depth about 39m, average depth about 27m, length of dive

40+min. No problems whatsoever. Thought that left-right balance

might be affected due to approx. half-a-kilo of metal alloys in my

left hip, but I dived without any unintentional rotation. Last week

I took out 3 divers for a refresher dive and demonstrated all the

balance / float control positions without any hindrance. I’d say

that my movement through water has improved since the resurfacing

(not surprising, as my movement above water has improved dramatically

as well).
