Age Distribution of SB Members

[Ripley]

Are you implying that my 50+ years of diving experience don't matter?

Ehm… Age and experience are obviously unrelated

Dude, respect.

LOL, yes #2, definitely a problem but we've been working on it.

I do everything here on my phone since my computer broke down. I bought a replacement quite some time ago but never got around to firing the thing up again. I know it's crazy but the only thing that I can't do on my phone, that I'd like to do, is Word. And that could probably be done if I figured it out cuz "there's an app for that". Ha

Too much of a pain though

There is Microsoft office on iOS, it isn’t great though for long documents

No, he is implying that you are a cheese.

*she*

 

[ofg-1]

*she*

Cheese has no gender.

 

[Addicted2H2O]

Cheese has no gender.

No but I bet whiskey most definitely has to be male.....certainly you've heard the phrase "I need a stiff drink"

And if if would help skew the poll results even further....I could always set up a separate account for my 10 yr old OW certified son who has actually been into diving since he was 8 starting with PADI Seal Team. That is....if I can get him off of Fortnite long enough to actually read a thread

Ripley means that she is "she"

I agree that SB is not at all representative of age groups for diving. In my 4 seasons assisting OW courses the vast majority of students were maybe 18-late twenties. Now, this has been discussed before on threads where the theme was that young people just aren't taking up diving and/or sticking with it. Some have said the opposite of what I saw in that the age range of OW students is much older.
I'm surprised at this: Currently:
10-19--- no votes.
20-29 only 9 votes (same as 70-79)
You may think younger people spend more time on social media?

You'd be surprised, I spend significantly less time than my older family members / friends on social media, the reasons for that vary greatly and I realize I might not be the best example for my generation but still. Most of my social media time is spent here when I have some time to kill at work.

I credit that mostly to working my ass off and spending the time I have left between my fiance, family, friends & doing all the day to day stuff to maintain our home. There's just not enough time in a day to start browsing facebook.
