Time to get a new wife? Ask her if she’d feel better if you’d start frequenting pubs with young bar maids in instead. 🫣
Joking aside she’s saying it because she loves ya but you know that am sure, my dad (80) gets grief off my mum for going out and doing 25miles on his bike on his own,
I am going to use that argument with my wife. The problem is that she hates anything to do with going under water. She has never raised an objection though, before now. The new wife would have to be under 40 though
 
Anywhere.
I have a friend whose wife, a non-diver, snorkeled (remained on the surface) above us when we did several dives during a trip to BVI. Excellent visibility meant she could see clearly what we were doing/seeing several fathoms below her. When we returned home, she immediately signed up for scuba lessons!

Maybe if you try that approach, your wife will end up becoming the dive buddy that keeps you from having to dive solo. (And just maybe she also will begin, eventually, to understand why diving solo can be such a sublime experience.)

Selective hearings works, my wife says I do not listen to her, or something like that.

Just give her a copy of your new, very fat, life insurance....
 
"My dive buddy" is a perfectly respectable name for your second cylinder.
Exactly...... I just tell the wife that I'm diving with "Silent Bob" today...

FWIW.....I'm 69......which is also my favorite number!

Why stop doing dangerous stuff, at old age?

The way I see it, I'm olde enough already. Getting older, for the sake of getting older, seems like a waste of time.

Dive. If you die, you die.
 
My goal is to stay alive long enough to learn to fish, play golf and read my wifes mind....which means that I need to live forever!
