John may have made history yesterday by becoming the oldest entry level certification that SSI has issued. I called them today and they say that they have no way to verify but by golly we are making the claim.
John will celebrate 81 years of a long and prosperous life on December 7th.

He has violated every rule for longevity.

He is married to a young woman.
He smokes.
He flies hang gliders.
He rides dirt bikes.
And now he dives.

He attributes his good health to having given up liquor a few years ago. He brags that he has lived this long and has not violated all of the Ten Commandments. So far as he knows he has never created a graven image.

John performed all requirements for being called DIVER. And in doing so has qualified himself to look down upon those who are not.

Hoo Ah! John!!
 
Kudos! Kudos to John. I hope to bediving at his age, and working on the Ten Commandments too. :D
 
¡Felicitaciones, Juan!

Tell him I'd like to dive with him if we are ever in Vortex at the same time.
 
Viejo verde y picaro! :05: Te pasaste! Por otros ochenta mas y eterna juventud. Congratulations and have fun!
 
Congratulations! :)
 
Cool! What an acomplishment! Makes me feel like a kid. Who's the old guy beside him without the hat?

That's Me, AI May-May, and John. Didn't know the oldness showed so much. Kind of felt that way after 15 dives in Vortex this weekend though. Speaking of old - Who just had a birthday???????
