I like it. Too true. I vote for this one 53, live in Harkers island, NC and starting my second year of diving. Got OW and Enriched Air certified at Discovery Diving, my favorite LDS though we have other very good ones. Getting into local wreck diving here off of Beaufort and Morehead,NC

IF I HAD KNOWN I WAS GONNA LIVE THIS LONG I WOULD HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF MYSELF

I vote for this one. I regret every broken bone . . . Although, in retrospect, I'm not sure I would have preferred to live a life that didn't have the risk of them happening. Probably explains why I cave dive.

Hi, I'm not Dutch but do spend a lot of time diving in St Maarten. My other half and I are 60 and when on the island spend our time diving with Luciana and Jeferson at Ocean Explorers. They are first rate and are the best on the island. We like the fact that they only take 6 divers at a time which gives everyone the personal touch.
If you get to St Maarten look them up, you won't be sorry. Happy Diving-Celeste
