I am a 63 year old SSI Divemaster who is retiring from my career job this Friday. I work part-time in the local dive shop (mid-west USA) that has both PADI and SSI agencies. Our student ratio is 10 SSI to 1 PADI. The shop owner offered the current DM's to send them to IDC (PADI) and cross them...

True, my philosophy is it's not a numbers/years game, but a quality of life/active life to the end game...

OP here, thank you all for your input A couple of things. Yes, I am 61, but I just passed my SFG 1 certification two weekends ago, so I plan on diving and being around for quite some time God willing. As far as having a back-up, when I pop the $$ for the LOBs, I don't want a computer failure to...

So, I own a Shearwater Peregrine and an Aqualung i550C. Both are great for old, aging eyes. BUT I wish I had AI so I could see tank pressure on my wrist computer. Buy right, cry once...I know... FWIW, I am strictly a rec diver and will be working on/getting my DM rating in 2022. At age 61, I do...

Great! Thank you

Please educate a noobie....what does this do for me? Does it make the octo easier to carry on a necklace holder?
