Are you still diving? If I ever grow up, I'll be closing in on the big 60.

Hi,
I am 52 with 56 dives. I live in Calgary, Canada. Locally we diving in and around Banff in Cold water. My wife and I are dry suit qualified just for that reason. I really want to dive the waters off of Vancouver Island.
Up to now, most of our dives have been in the Caribbean. We are going to Grand Cayman on Nov. 21/09 where we are taking our Advanced open water training.
Fav dive shop is thThe Dive Shop in Calgary.
Only been diving for 2 years with basic open water and dry suit certification so far. Aiming higher.

My wife and I are staying over after a tour of Oz for a dive trip aboard the Spirit of Freedom through the Barrier Reef to the Coral Sea islands in January. I'm 70, been diving for twenty years, mostly in the Caribbean, but also New Zealand (Poor Knights Island), Bora Bora, Moorea, Kauai, and Big Island - Hawaii.
Any comments re. the Spirit and the dives there? How is snorkeling for my non-diving wife?

AOW and Nitrox and coming up to 100
Area of preference is Dahab in the Red Sea but also Maldives ( Great Thilas and bombastic currents) and the Great Barrier Reef. I did my PADI OW on the GBR in '03 and just got back from a trip on the Northern Reefs on Mike Balls Spoilsport.

Fred...... when Spoilsport was parked next to Spirit in Cairns harbour Spirit looked smaller but the crew of Spoilsport were gracious enough to say that Spirit is the only boat out of Cairns that can match them for the level of service and routes. Our 7 day trip had to be modified from the scheduled itinerary due to 5 metre seas but at least 1 dive site per day was good for snorkeling, either free swimming or on the line above an interesting "Bommie" or watching for the Minke Whales. Have fun and give my regards to Lizard Island

Maybe we need a new thread - How many are over 70? I'll be 73 on Tuesday and hope to keep diving as long as I can get a little help up the ladder. (Both of my knees are metal.)
My next dive trip I'll hit 600 dives and loved them all.
Began diving at Club Med in 1984, certified PADI OW in 1990. Sorry, no more certs.
Favorite dive spots are Little Cayman, San Salvador Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and especially Roatan. Have been diving Glover's Atoll Belize, Bonaire, St Lucia, Cozumel, Jamaica, Florida Keys, Grand Cayman, and Cancun. Marvelous dive trip to Bali a few years ago.
