Mid-50s, certified in the late 80s, stopped logging dives when I hit a 1000. Instructor for a little while in a previous life. Long hiatus after entering a long-term partnership with a non-diver but recently resolved that issue and am on my way to blowing more bubbles on a regular basis….

I am 69, took my first scuba class in 1966 and was certified in 1968. Instructor said I was too little or too young or something like that as an excuse. I bought my own equipment and began diving right away, mostly solo beneath my parent's boat.

67, certified for 25 years. Been diving regularly (if not always frequently), other than the year I got married (just a little too busy). Even managed some diving in 2020 (a week before everything shut down) and 2021 (driving up to the Straits of Mackinac).

58, Certified at the beginning of the year, should round off this first year with about 70 dives. I came to this late (regretfull), I guess life got in the way. Now with a little more free time, the warmer waters of the Caribbean Sea It’s easier to fit in the diving. I’m not sure how these old bones will adapt to cold water diving, I may need to go dry….. ;-)
