Active Divers over the age of 50

Man there are some tough old bastards on here. (Meant in the absolute most respectful way).

No wonder guys like me can ask a few questions and be taught by total strangers how to rebuild old double hose regulators by feel.

Good job to all of you. I've got another year till I join your club.

Keep it up!

Regularly dive with people well into their 50s, 60s and even 70s doing deep 60m+/200ft+ wrecks and longish decompression diving on rebreathers. All in cold water 10c/50f.

It's humbling to be on a boat where the total number of years they've been diving rebreathers is close to 100 years.

It's a state of mind. In the case of a certain Yorkshireman, bloody mindedness!

That one looks in very good order .
The first regulator I used was like the twin set in the photo.
And we were diving a 40/60% mix in < 18m.

I just met today with my surgical staff, one year after a hip replacement (contact sports are not a good thing to long term health). She said, "It looks great!" She asked what I had done this last year? I said I hadn't skied, but had SCUBA dived (including lugging gear on shore dives, and boat ladders). She said, "Keep having fun!"
