I am a 64 yr old DM who now lives in the USVI. I have found my age to be an advantage. Young divers seems to be more open and comfortable with me. I have never encountered a situation where my age worked againist me.

I am 64, a DM, I live on St. Thomas, USVI, my favorite dive operation is Blue Island Divers and I do a lot of wreck diving in the Caribbean. We have several great wrecks and dive sites around us and enjoy the opportunity to go out with divers visiting this area.

Man that's great to hear. I am 57 and should be finishing up DM this year and will probably continue training to Instructor as well. Glad to hear that us old guys are still of value!

Turned 50 last August and I live in Central IL. Been diving since 1979, I'd guess close to 1000 dives (stopped logging 20 years ago). I used to do SAR work, loved to go deep, and enjoyed wrecks, but now really prefer nice warm shallow dives.

I live in Montreal, Canada and am 53 years young. I dive with my two daughters ages 15 and 20. We dive in Lake Champlain, VT (cold) and on vacation in Florida and the Caribbean. My local dive shop is Total Diving in Montreal.
