No offense, but why not just stop "getting too out of shape?" Spend the money on a gym membership and use it. Then you'll be healthy enough to dive for even more years. 
Assuming you're referring to surface swims, you could also improve the nav skills.

As for nav skills, well, actually my nav skills are pretty good for normal diving. It's just when lobster hunting that it's a bit more difficult. Also, the areas I've been frequenting present real dive challenges. Say a rocky area shaped like a sombrero between 75 and 105 feet... at night. I hate wondering where I am from the boat. I like to dive at San Nicolus Island and Talcot Shoal. You can make four long swims in a day. Getting three out of four is not good enough. Want four out of four. It used to be that a 1/2 mile swim to the boat was only an inconvenience. Now it's a nuisance. .... "even more years" you say. I got 40 years so far.... we'll see about the future, but it is certainly time to make the swimming easier.
Enjoy the diving, Mike

I have the dive tracker sport. I dive off of my own boat and I don't want to come up down current. I can usually get close but these units get me back exactly to my anchor line. They do what they are supposed to do. That being said, they are electronic devices being used in salt water. Ask if they have a scubaboard discount.

Dennis, are you attaching the sending unit to your anchor at the bottom, or dropping it off the boat on a tag line?
