Congratulations - must be a trend ! - this time around I did CMAS 1 star (OW equivalent) at 48 1/2, (that half matters you know ) 2 star eight weeks later and then CMAS three star (Divemaster equivalent) 12 months and 150 dives after that - 3 months before I was 50.

Safe diving and enjoy ! P

Oh.. Man! You missed all those years where it was easy to hump the gear up the pitching boat ladders... Better late than never, welcome.

My Dad got his cert in 1965 when I was 6. Back then it was an intensive 8 week course. After he got his cert he would take my brother and I skin diving of Santa Rosa Island. Ever since I wanted to get my cert but life got in the way. I plan on working my way up to PADI diving instructor and DAN certifed rescue driver/DMT. I enjoy teaching and helping others. It will just take time,dedication and determination.

Congrats! I waited a long time, because I became interested when I was 21 and didn't get certified for another 10 years but there are quite a few people on SB that have been in their 50s and have even gotten cave or technical certifications. You have plenty of diving left to enjoy!
