The "Scubaboard divers age group" poll got me curious:

When did you first learn to dive?

I was 17 when I tookmy first OW class, but I had some "pool dives" in at an even younger age...

I was 11 when I did the class, but had to wait until I was 12 to get my C-card.

16 in 1986. My role model was Jacques Cousteau on the Calypso. I was the odd ball in the hood, can't paly bballl but scuba dives!?!? I guess for both sports call me waterboy!

I started my OW class on my 49th birthday (it was a birthday present). That was almost eight years ago.

I am still learning how to dive ...

Certified initially at 21. I didn't dive much at all for years afterward because I didn't have the cash to get to the water!
