Do not view your age as an impediment. I became a PADI Instructor at the age of 44. If you are in good health and physically able you should go for it.
Working as a divemaster/instructor in semi-retirement in a tropical dive destination.

That is good to hear. I am in good health and physically active. I am not really concerned that I would not be able tohandle the physical demands of instructing or working as a divemsster. I was more wondering if it would be harder to find work at a dive opperationat 50 or 55 compared with the level DMs and Instructor that are getting started as pros in their 20s.
Personally, I think you would be a better candidate than the younger person. They are probably living off their income from diving whereas you are more flexible since you have other funds available. More training you have the better,
