I’m beginning to think scuba diving is my midlife crisis.
I look up diving at 46-47 in 2016. I’m still diving now at 54. I now cave dive and even got CCR trained last year. I got much more adventurous as I got older!
This 100%. I got certified in my early 20s... always had dreams about being serious about diving, and even dive bumming (or ski bumming), but due to a stint in the Army, I felt behind in life when I finally got out of college. I went from never having enough money to dive to being very focused on career, then wife, then family. Suddenly I realized I'm staring down at 50... Time to focus on some parts of "me" that I'd completely neglected for the past decade.
I'm not giving up on skiing (though my knees almost are), but I'm all in on diving.
Scuba is much more expensive than a Corvette if you go all in. . .
Scuba is my mid-life crisis too.

I saw the title to this thread and thought to myself "Scuba is my midlife crisis." Apparently I'm not alone. Thankfully my wife and I are sharing this midlife crisis together.
A rebreather is cheaper than a Corvette!

Scuba is my reward! I had my first dive when I was 11 and wanted to certify ever since but didn't until I was about 53.
I bought a convertible sports car when I was 50. Not due to crisis but because I could afford it. But scuba is a long-desired hobby that just worked out about three years ago. Definitely my reward for being a responsible human being.
