25 years. Life happens. Some regrets, but not many. I’ve been back to for 7 years and loving every dive.

So 22 years. Yes live happens. I'd have loved to continue to dive, but not diving was the right way to put priorities. In fact I'd have preferred to continue having that higher priority, being free to dive again due to the death of a loved one is a very mixed feeling.
About 16 yrs, 2003-2019. Got back into it when my son got certified.
Wow, and here I thought my 8 years was a really bad and excessive surface interval...
I remember the last dive as we handed my daughter over to another boat in her child carrier while the wife and I splashed. The diving and the boat use went on pause after that. Been back at it for 13 years, and have a diving family.
Been told I'm a better person when I am diving and boating...

Longest I ever went not diving was about a year back in 1979-1980. But I have lots of years where I barely did any diving due to work/kids/family/injuries.
But living in Ft Lauderdale, even when I cant get out scuba diving, I get out regularly free diving off the beach. So I still get wet. Sucks to live in paradise a mile from the beach and reefs!

7 years for me. 0 dives done between my first OW cert (1990) and my second (1997). Since then it's been more or less consistent. Few dives per year in the early years, more so recently.

Almost 21 years. Discover dive on honeymoon in Cozumel in 1997, and wanted to get certified "sometime soon" after. Then moves, job changes, kids, and other life happened. Finally got certified with my son in 2018.
