50+ year old divers

So when are we going to get senior citizen discounts on air fills, boat trips and dive gear? After all, the industry is trying to keep people diving... that would be an incentive (as if we needed one)!

Oh boy, I am all for this Dr Bill. You have a great idea! I went diving the other day in a cold northern Wisconsin Lake with 6 foot visibility. I can't wait to get back to Florida, but I needed to blow some bubbles.

Just remember, " It is never to late to have an enjoyable childhood" So all you young kids, keep it up.

I already have my list of where I can ski for less. Just hope I last as long as my 88 year old parents, they've been skiing free for 20+ years.

It is one thing to be a grumpy old man and another to be a Walrus.

Once in the water as graceful as any other large, marine mammal. Natural buoyancy and insulation!

I've been to Hawaii twice and Jamaica. Started local diving last summer.
Both shops in the Portland area + Scubatoys & Divetank.

Hey cfelliot.
I noticed that your thread stated that you like both shops in the Portland area. FYI....did you know that their are three shops in Portland now? Johnson's Aqua Diving, and Maine Divers?

I think we need to work with AARP to get this discount in the works.
