Started at 45 and still going at 56.
Use the wisdom you have gained over the years. It applies here perfectly.
When some diver has to tell you all about the places he has been and the great dives he has done that you could never do, just smile knowingly and think of your plans. Some people take this activity as a perfect opportunity for one-upsmanship.
When some dive operator tells you that this dive (that is way beyound your training and comfort level) is the dive, so get to it, don't. You can thumb any dive.
One day, possibly soon, you will meet that big mouth diver on the boat, like the one in the first example, but he will go on more about his diving certs, skills and fantastic experience. Again, smile knowingly because those who are actually good don't need to tell you so. Then, stay away from him in the water.
