Here's an update from Rob Murphy: "I am great, walking on new prosthetics with just a cane, and progressing quickly. I went diving with the prototypes for the dive legs for the first time. We did some pool work. I dove 3 tanks, was getting around the boat pretty much independently, and shot some big fish. I am really impressed with the prototypes. I am going to use them for a couple weeks then they will make the final models. I am doing a spearfishing tournament, the Spearboard Open, on May 16 and 17."
