How Old Were You When You Started SCUBA?

[scuberd]

I was 12 1/2, 6 months after the minimum age, I was chomping at the bit to get certified about age 10

I feel like I started over when I found out about DIR after 15 years doing it the other way... so I voted in the *older group*...

I started DIR after 25 years of diving, but I started diving in a backplate so I put down 16.

So I guess most of the people on this board that dive the 'other' way aren't really SCUBA divers then.

Hmmm, interesting.

Of course they are. Even if all you own is a Pinto, you're still called a "driver."

Well Martin.. actually I wasn't trying to stir the pot (this time)...
Just reflecting on how differently I dive now that I've been brainwashed...
I think I need to start a thread about how brainwashed I am...


btw Roak: When I started diving I actually used a plastic back pack (sans wing) for a while...

I'm really BAD I use bungees :tongueout
My son's first dive was when he was 7
He was the only one to show up at his O/W with all his own gear already well used.

I started diving last year one month after my 40th birthday. I was over that cut-off age and had to get a physical before taking the class. The doctor looked in my ears, listened to me breath and said, “Do you really want to do this?” I said yes and he signed the paperwork. I guess maybe if I said no he would of fluked me or something
