I recall that you were in a LA County Underwater Instructor course AKA UICC, that I had something to do with..Now you are 62...guess what that makes me? Glen? Tom? Otto?
( ever wonder why the LA Co types are Underwater Instructors? The term SCUBA was not in common useage until 25 years later!

I'm only 62, and I wanna be a pirate when I grow up! I have been diving on and off for about 40 years. I moved to Virginia in 2005, and the only diving I have done here so far is to scrape barnacles off the bottom of my sailboat. But that is about to change! Weather permitting, I am signed up for a boat trip this Sunday to dive on the wreck of a tugboat that went down in the 1920's.

My Dad is 65 and he still dives on vacations. Is there a health risk to dive after a certain age?

Elliot, you might take a look at DAN for that info. We had a discussion here re. this subject when a cruise ship refused a shore excursion dive for me because I was over 65. No one had ever heard of such a restriction. I found a local dive shop and went on my own. I'm now 70 and will dive with Spirit of Freedom live-aboard on the Barrier Reef and Coral Sea islands in January.

I don't know why this discussion is in this forum, we aren't OLD.

DiveMaster, Advanced Nitrox, Deep Air.....
Favorite shop? That would be Thunder Bay Scuba, I own it.
I have some friends, 63 and 72, that come up to dive with me. Both trimix and cave certified. He has a depth rated pace maker, 150' rating. The time is coming where it will have to be replaced and he is looking to find one rated to 170'.
