Life begins at 50!

My new son-in-law got me into diving last fall. I got my open water certification at age 50 up in Hood Canal in October and now have 30 logged dives. I'm looking forward to my first warmer water dive in CA's Channel Islands this August.

you have six years to catch up with me. Catalina Island is a great place for shore and boat diving.
been there, done that.

Welcome to diving and to :sblogo:!

I got certified at 51, and diving has more or less taken over my life . . . You will love the Channel Islands. Diving in the kelp, with the fat, glowing Garibaldis and the occasional sea lion fly-by, is fabulous! (Headed there myself in a week and a half.) But don't forget the San Juans and British Columbia. The water may be a bit colder (not a whole lot) but the seascapes are just as amazing.
