Why?You're increasing your nitrogen loading, causing you to have shorter bottom times and less safety than if you dove nitrox for all your dives. Change the mix for the dive to the appropriate percentage but why dive air?Plenty of nitrox available but I use air on my first dive.

I doubt its an age thing. I'm 48, my husband 53. We've dived with 70 year olds that we can't keep up with. Heck, I'd say a great percentage technical divers are in their 50s or older.Maybe it's an age thing, or a dive experience thing, but some people can be happy with just two dives a day. Actually, most people are happy with just two dives a day. I've enjoyed intensive dive trips on liveaboards and even on land where I'm doing 4-5 a day, but that's usually in some location where the diving is incredible. For Cozumel, where it's just typical Caribbean diving, why bother overdoing it? A couple of long dives per day is just fine for many people, who might want to enjoy the rest of their vacation days just chilling out, reading a nice book, or socializing with other vacationers. Nothing is more obnoxious than people telling other people how they can best enjoy themselves on vacation.
