A little bit about myself.
I'm 67~ years old, retired from 28 years of Law Enforcement and Public Service (EMT, Fireman, Storm Spotter, 911 Dispatch etc.) 9+ years of Oilfield (Roughneck, Driller, Engineer), Waiter, Sodajerk, Mechanic ... but I have many interests... Some are riding my motorcycle, playing the Hammond organ and stage piano in 3 to 5 bands in the Wichita area ...
and Scuba Diving. I certified PADI Open Water May 5th, 1980, Advanced in 1981 then DiveMaster in 1982; Nitrox, Swift Water Recovery and OSHA Dive Operations Supervisor in 1993. Today, I don't look for bodies or recover vehicles or evidence, I just dive for treasures of the day and for fun ... and took pics and videos of fish, crawdads, rocks, trees, my dive buddy Fleener, the Ex and stuff .... until I lost my Sony UW Camera in the lake in my back yard last year, but I did not loose my beer ...In August 2007, Wife Unit Mary and I dove the point at Beaver, were down about 36 feet on the bluffs and the little red and white cement "guy" was still there... still no head, took a few pics, then soon, 2 divers came up and had a plastic Halloween skeleton head and zip ties with them.... they put the head on the little guy and that head is still there to this day ... some divers put rocks or bottles in it from time to time .... see the pics at this address http://www.cyberlodge.com/dprobst/beaver2007/ ... I had a video of them but now i cant find it ...
In 2017, Fleener and I went to Beaver Lake Arkansas again, since Table Rock Dam area is closed, 37th year diving in the Ozarks, stayed at the Pointe West Motel overlooking the lake.... managers Jule and Steve were still there and had a great time.... shopped at C&J's Dive Shop across the highway.... Jim Butler even stays open late so you can get a pizza and brewskies. ... made 4 dives, found lots of treasure and had pretty good time.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did not go diving in 2016 because on June 22nd, I died of Bacterial Meningitis and woke up and found myself in ICU on the 26th ... had to learn to think, talk, walk, eat, bathe ... drive... so it was a tough year for me .... but now we're back .... Dove Beaver in 2018 and then Bull Shoals in 2019 when it was 27 feet higher than high pool (sucked) Beaver and Tablerock .... no diving this year (2020) because of the Covid-19 Hoax ... so we'll see about next year, but doubtful, lungs are giving out due to COPD so whatever ....
