Too old?

[Liz Shumaker]

I am extremely interested in starting to scuba and get certified. I am 61 years old and havent been in the water for several years. Is it too late to start, honestly? Should i spend the money on classes, gear etc? My spouse is negative toward me swimming but yet he wants to scuba and is certified.

If you are "personally" interested in diving it's definitely not too late.

No, it’s not too late. How is your health?

Good health, maybe 10 lbs i could loose if that. No heart etc issues.

I’m a Pisces and joke that I’m channeling my inner fish.
