Didn't get certified until I was over 60. Now an instructor. Why did I wait so long"

Turn 60 this month.
Indianapolis, IN
Open Water and satisfied
Most diving has been in the Caribbean and haven't been to an island I didn't like!
Most dive shops have been good and I really like N2theBlue in St. Croix.
Certified with checkout dives in Grand Cayman in 1998. Didn't dive again until 7 years later......thanks to an aunt-in-law who moved right on the beach in St. Croix. Used to go on 1 dive trip a year. Now that I'm retired, I go on 2. This year I'll have at least 3!

I love Utila...spent a week diving there this march and am already thinking about heading back in October! Have a friend who lives there that usually does a few dive with me when I'm on the island.

59 here... Diving 41 years in May.
Currently live west of Toronto and Tobermory (where I am at the moment...)
I log about 100 - 120 dives a year. Trips this year... Roatan in January, Belize in March, East Coast of Canada (Gaspe) in July and northern British Columbia in October. Weekends are for diving in the Great Lakes, with Tobermory being "home base".
This is the view from my front yard earlier this evening.... Ugh...
