This man turned 81 this month I believe, and dives with the enthusiasm of a 17 year old n00b. First one in and the last one out. If you're into fish and marine life (and photography) diving with him is the equivalent of being a golfer and getting to play with Jack Nicklaus or Bobby Jones. (Note his "state of the art" computer in the Sipadan photo). May we all be so lucky to be healthy and strong enough to dive into our 80's. Too cool.

That would give me at least 23 more years of diving pleasure! I like role models set by "youngsters" like that.
 
I was just on a liveaboard, one diver took the trip with some family to celebrate his 80th birthday.
