The Ancient Mariner

[SCUBA4BILL]

I am a 78 year "young" diver with a NAUI Retired Instructor certification and am also SSI Nitrox certified. My diving is now done in the Carribean and for many years it has been from a "live-aboard" (Aggressor Fleet &/or Peter Hughes). After accumulating 5-6000 slides, I finally sold all of my camera gear and now "go down" to see, enjoy, and "spot" for my dive buddies. My first "live-aboard" was the MV Tropic Bird in the BVI back in the late 70s & early 80s.

Sorry,but I took that name first! Anyhow glad to have another "mature" diver sign in. Welcome aboard and I hope you find as much good info here as I have. After 45---make that 47-- years of diving I'm still learning. :yelclap:

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club.

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and seperately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach those easily. You can even qualify for the Inst2Inst forum, where the good parties are, I believe?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."
