I am 67 1/2, same as scubadada, but we have some similarities too---A senior is anyone older than me. (I’m 70)
What’s changed over the years?
Sometimes I forget to log my dives.
Sometimes I forget I even booked a dive.
I almost always have to pee between dives now.
When the DMs I know well invite me out for beers I now have to stop after 2 or so, and have to be home and to bed by 9pm
I stopped wearing a speedo under my wetsuit so as not to frighten others on the boat
I’m running out of people who are obviously older than I am to jokingly tell them “Wait until you get to be my age." Now I have to say to the younger folk, "Wait until I get to be your age."
I get really pissed off when the DMs I know well insist on carrying the “old man’s” gear on and off the boat.
The good news is that I can still do an hour every morning on the elliptical, lift weights 2 -3 times/week, and can still bench my body weight (good thing my weight dropped from 180 lb to 73 lb as I aged ).
I always log my dives with OCD.
I haven't been on a boat since Florida, 2015.
I always pee before, during and after dives and during S.I.s. I pee all the time.
I never wore a speedo.
I carry my own gear but only to the car. And the car better be close to the water once it's (the gear) on me.
I still exercise but not quite as long as you do.
There rarely is anyone older than me because I dive alone.
