Survey says.....young people aren't on Scubaboard lol.

And now to check Reddit for the same poll...

That Poll is probably seriously Skewed just like this one.
It's mostly younger people who use Reddit, so it would not surprise me if 80% of the people that answered are under the Age of 40 and most probably only dive as part of vacation packages.

This Poll is Skewed because most of the people who will join a diving forum are highly skilled divers and with a lot deeper involvement in the Hobby. You just don't find as many young people with that kind of passion for diving anymore.
 
I have been diving for 43 Years and probably done about 350 dives and another 500 or so spearfishing trips while snorkeling.
 
68 YOA - over 10,000 dives. Certified in 1968 or 1969. Diving since 1967.
Open water Instructor PADI in 1974 (Was titled "Underwater Instructor")
Full Cave instructor NACD 1975 - Sheck Exley was my evaluator.
 
Also an older boy 😇... 55 and fit, think so 😉. First zertifikate in 1997, near 600 dives, most in Red Sea, some in Phillis, Mexiko, Curacao, Maledives, Mauritius and some in German lakes. Since 2 years just with dry suite, older boy dont like freeze🤪😎🖖🖖
