50+ year old divers

[BradMM]

OW certified in '91, took a hiatus from SCUBA for about 15 years and did only snorkel and free diving with family, but have gotten my Master, Nitrox and working on Divemaster certs recently. Would like to work on Instructor but can't find a place worth shooting around Central Texas.

I'll be 61 in June.

I spend summers in Canada and winters in Cozumel. Now I dive exclusively in Cozumel and when here, I dive with an op called Living Underwater about 2x a week. By far, my favourite dive op of any I have dived with. Did my rescue cert with them several years ago. Thankfully, they are a "valet" op so no tank lifting/gear schlepping for this mature gal. I will be 63 in a couple of months.

58...for two more months.

Conway, Arkansas

OW certification one year ago this week. Feel kinda of out of place with all these experienced divers. Wish I had started sooner but going to enjoy it while I can!

Have been to Cozumel and Belize for trips, dive our local lakes. Plan to do some spear fishing this summer and a trip to Hawaii (Big Island) in August or Sept. 45 dives.

I'll be 60 coming November.

I decided that I want to be a diver aged 12 in 1967 when I saw Costeau documentary. It was not until 2006 and I was in in my 51st year that I got the chance. I now have done close to 500 dives and enjoyed every one of them. Plan to retire from diving next year though, after achieving my goal of 500 Day Dives and 100 night dives.

Looking down the barrel of 70, coming up this July;
Favorite dive site: Coz
Favorite dive trip: Roatan
OW, NitrOx, Night - sneaking up on some Tec. dive training.

Look for me at 38', head down, focused, hoping for Nudibranch ...

Call me if you're going to dive Coz.

Just turned 52 couple weeks back and diving as much as possible. OW done in 87 and went tech in 08. Getting Cave cert done this season. Need to buy a boat so I can dive the great wrecks here in VB more often.
