I am 66 and my buddy wife 65. We live in Belgium.
Got PADI DM certified @ 50 Year old and done our IANTD Advanced Nitrox last year.
Still 50+ dives per year in tropical places and at depth down to 120 feet.

I live in the UK and I am 54, my dive buddy is 69. I did my OW last year in Thailand and my AOW on Pulau Weh/Indonesia. To date I have managed to log 45 dives. We tend to dive in South East Asia, mainly Indonesia. We both got our Nitrox certification a few weeks back.

I will be a month away from 69 when I hit Cozumel in Feb. with my nephew who is a new diver. He has asked me to be his buddy on his first salt water dives. I am dusting off the dive gear and getting excited to be back underwater, it has been a number of years.

Curious, how many are single and over 50 and diving?

Hmmm, maybe they should start putting our age, marital status, and other statistics over there along with our personal info Height/weight proportional? I never knew what that meant :|

To answer your question, I'm 62, divorced, but currently involved with a lovely lady I met on a dating site :love2:

As far as the diving goes, I expect to be in Cancun in December and most likely will also dive Cozumel and visit Belize and dive the Blue Hole. I'm not sure about Cenote--sounds like cave diving to me and I'm scared to death of drowning :shocked2: but the 500' visibility is very appealing
