I have a student who had learned to scuba dive years ago. For a man who is in his mid 80's he is in very good shape. He claims his daily drink of rum before going on a 5 mile run every morning is the reason. He has been given a clean slate of health and an OK by his Doctor,whom is also a diver, a tech diver at that. Bill my student understands the issue of age and DCI wants to learn again so that he can enjoy something with his great-grand and grand children, who are also learning to dive. the youngest is 18 yoa. So here then is my question to you all - Do you think that there is anything wrong with teaching an older senior person to dive? and What would be the maximum age you would consider to teach?
