This thread may come out wrong, but i have always been curious of this...

4 years ago, at age 18, I was honored to have the opportunity of starting Dive Zero Magazine/TV.

You have to agree that scuba diving has a lot less younger people than other sports. Scuba diving's average age is 36, and i have only came across a few divers out there who have started companies in their teens/early 20's.

I am just curious as to how old everyone was when they started getting involved in scuba diving or when they started a dive shop, company, etc...

How old were you?...10?...30?...60?
 
66..............
 
I certified at the tender age of 43. I started the Christian Divers of Texas ministry at 45. I only wish I hadn't waited so long, but hey...life happens. I got here as soon as I could!
 
Hi,
I bought a scuba company in Chicago at the age of 21. Now i'm 23. Before that i owned and ice cream truck fleet which i started all by my self. That is how i earned the money to purchase a store. I also some other companies. Here is my store site BerryDiveCenter dotcom. Who did you site DiveZero? very good site!
 
I started at 56..I'm 60 now and luv every minute underwater. :wink:
