2021 was my 50th year as a certified diver. on new years eve did a two tank dive in marathon florida, and on jan 2nd. did my first dives of 2022, starting my 51 year. so much has changed over the years. anyway had great weather and visibility on the reefs there, and flat calm seas.
passed the big 50

Congratulations. I have maybe a few years to go and will not get there....
This is all chicken feed. I reckon that that @Sam Miller III has over a century of diving! We’ll never catch him!

Congrats to the OP, no small thing.
I took my YMCA course in 1966 and a NAUI course in 1968. Same instructor. He would not give me my card until I could bench press a steel 72 ten times. Puberty helped with that. So, let's see, counting from 1968 though I had been diving on my own solo from my parents boat and shore for two years, I think I begin my 54th year as a diver. And, I have been an active diver each and every one of those years, some more than others.
