no more diving

[boulderjohn]

In few years time when I reach 75, I will say good bye to diving.

I just finished a very nice week of diving in the Caribbean at age 75.

when I reach 75, I will say good bye to diving.

Good luck.

Why 75? Why not 74 1/2, or a week after you turn 76?

Seems rather arbitrary.

I found out I had Afib, went to a cardiologist, oh and you also have a leaky heart valve. Repaired the valve, Afib went away and I was cleared to dive 3 months later.

It can take more than twice, but they are getting better and better at it over time. Good luck!
