How old are you?

[Stoo]

So with all of these threads about health and dying (not necessarily in the solo forum) I started to sense that we solo types tend to be older than the average SCUBEE diver. Perhaps solo comes about as an evolutionary thing... Buddy's stop diving, or perhaps we just don't give a rat's a$$ about what people think about us...

So time for another poll! How old are you?

Looks like the old farts are winning early on........my vote made it 3-0

 

[Doc Harry]

I'm a "grumpy old diver".

At least I'm not Dusty yet so I have a lot more dives ahead. I ran into a 70+ solo diver on a boat trip I was on with my daughter. Since I don't see the kid a lot I didn't chat him up much. I do remember checking out the BP/W he was diving.

At least I'm not Dusty. I may be old, but I’m not dead yet.

I know a diver named Dusty ... he's about my age, and I'll be 60 in a few months.

Dusty often dives solo ... but sometimes he dives with his dad ...

I'm a member of the "New 40s." When I was young, I was more afraid of death than I am now at a ripe "young" age, and acted more conservatively (not just in diving).

A better Q for the solo forum might be "how old were you when solo became one of your descriptors?"

I dived solo more when I was younger.
