Wife and I are 54-53 years old, have been diving for 35 years (since 1989), the 2500th dive earlier this year.

Kids are 13-14.5 years old, diving ~1.5 years with ~90 dives

how did you survive 15 years without diving? I get hives when I go 4 months.

Next month I turn 70 and go from 21.7% to 7.7%.

 

[Pressurehead]

Next month I turn 70 and go from 21.7% to 7.7%.

It's a slow climb to 8% , I want to be in the .5% small crowd, a few here will raise that number in 4-6 years to .8-1% [or more].
'Go you good thing' fellow septuagenarians.

Off to the gym, must stay 'match fit' , back diving next week, 6 weeks off was hell, it keeps me [almost] sane.
