37? Heck, if I was 2X that I'd still start diving right now if I wasn't already diving. Late 50's, myself and still diving, and don't intend to stop for a very long time!

Call a local dive shop today and get started. You can take the course work and pool work, and then take the referral papers back to Cozumel and be certified in a week or two. Hurry, your down to your last 40 or 50 years of diving left. And you won't be setting any records for oldest diver.

I did my open water with a 78 year old and he did okay for his age. This was in Australia and he is planning on diving in Canada lol he is game.

I was a 42 yo snorkler when I was certified 2 years ago. I am so glad I got my c card.
