It'll be 6 years for me in September. Can't say I ever imagined back then that I'd have to sign the paperwork for somebody else's certification on the 5th anniversary of getting my OW cert. Started diving in 2008, became an instructor in 2012.

I got certified in '05 age 51 when we retired to Nova Scotia. No reason to dive the cold dark lakes of Northern Manitoba all those years of my career, especially as a shell collector. Coming up on age 60, 9 years diving and after that 500 dives.

16 years of continuous diving, winter, spring, summer, fall. Wish I'd started sooner.

That's how we manage to rack up 500+ up North. I'll get #500 shortly before year 10. Slowly, the Canadian turtle gets there. When will you get to 6,000 dives....? (a course director I know here on the FL panhandle has 6,000 and she doesn't dive much or at all for 3 months here in "winter").
