Able to eat a pound of bacon and eggs and refried beans at 7:30 like a champ.

Hmm, looks like Montezuma got his revenge on you Gringo perido. Not one for such an aqua poo adventure, but I can verify that a Healthways Scubair is sufficiently robust to pass scrambled eggs through the exhaust valve.
 
54 and got certified at 40.

I wanted to become a diver in my teens, after watching Cousteaus films, but my parents could no afford it. And then I had studies, work etc. Diving had to wait for a quarter of a century.
 
I wanted that "Diver" rate when I was in the Navy Cadets ( 3 years before I joined) ,told I was too young, took me 18 months to earn it after I joined and another 16 years to acquire my first civilian qualification, NAUI Aow while I was still in the Navy, the Navy paid for me to become a civilian diving instructor as part of my "resettlement training for civilian life " . What's that? 57 years diving 40 years a civilian instructor, PADI for 6 and NAUI since. 🤔
