    The only place I ever get asked such a silly question is on internet forums. I once had someone here on ScubaBoard suggest that I need to get out and dive more ... I quite agree ... I only managed about 240 dives this year ...

    Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.

    Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)

    I'll be 59 in February. No one has asked me that question because they know there's only four things I'm thinking about: Diving, golf, UF Gator Football.

    I'm 64 and am about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of my first submergence on SCUBA. The only time I can think of when I was asked if I still dive was last week and the quest was posed by a woman in her mid-80s. I was a bit surprised.

    I wish I could say I did 240 dives last year like Bob, but in the past four years my logged dives have dropped from 350 to 93 this year. Two reasons... I now have to pay for my air fills and I'm spending three months away from home to take care of Mom following major cancer surgery.
