• Age – Between 38 & 53 years old – Mean: 45 Median: 46 - 56
• 76% are male - yep
• Household Income – 56% make between $75,000 and $100,000 yep
• Occupation – 80% are White Collar/ Professional/ Technical/ Management yep - I.T.
• Home ownership – 93% own their own home yep
• Mortgage amount – Median of $148,000 a little less cuz I'm older
• Marital Status – 71% married yep - 38yrs.
• Presence and age of children – 17% have kids under 18 nope - all grown up now

So I only deviate a bit--because of my late start in diving--on age and no kids at home. Interesting survey!

Negative on all, except income. Maybe I should quit

Age – Between 38 & 53 years old – Mean: 45 Median: 46 - 56 age 32
76% are male - nope
Household Income – 56% make between $75,000 and $100,000 only just... with overtime
Occupation – 80% are White Collar/ Professional/ Technical/ Management blue collar
Home ownership – 93% own their own home maybe in a hundred years, given the amount I spend on diving
Mortgage amount – Median of $148,00 see above
Marital Status – 71% married don't mix well with others
Presence and age of children – zero on both

Always knew I wasn't average :cool2:

Well I hit 5 of those just not necessarily the 5 I would have liked to hit. Oh well maybe I will hit the lottery.

Correct only on Male and home/land owner. Age 70, no mortgage, no children, widowed, retired union construction electrician, retirement income about $70K, farm income about the same lately what's with the price of corn and soybeans. That'll change soon when the rest of the world realizes that the ethanol thing is a loser.

According to the DEMA website (link: DEMA - top article) the average "active diver" is:

• Age – Between 38 & 53 years old – Mean: 45 Median: 46
• 76% are male
• Household Income – 56% make between $75,000 and $100,000
• Occupation – 80% are White Collar/ Professional/ Technical/ Management
• Home ownership – 93% own their own home
• Mortgage amount – Median of $148,000
• Marital Status – 71% married
• Presence and age of children – 17% have kids under 18

The rest of the PPT contains a lot marketing junk, but I found that bit interesting. A lot of the subsequent pages focus on the baby-boomer effect (apparently baby-boomers are natural divers, which doesn't bode well for the industry, given the population pyramid).

But the stereotype is pretty darn close to home for me (except that I am slightly less than 76% male ). How about others?

Well that rules me out ! I'm 100% female i hope!

* Age – Between 38 & 53 years old – Mean: 45 Median: 46 -- Nope -- 61
* 76% are male -- I believe I'm in the 100% category here
* Household Income – 56% make between $75,000 and $100,000 -- fortunately well above that (thank you TSandM for working since I'm retired and living off the sale of my business)
* Occupation – 80% are White Collar/ Professional/ Technical/ Management -- my only "occupation" now is OWSI -- but I was 3 out of the four
* Home ownership – 93% own their own home -- what, only 1 house....
* Mortgage amount – Median of $148,000 -- WAY above that too!!! Especially now that we've just bought another house -- where do people live in the US with only $150,000 mortgage?
* Marital Status – 71% married -- does being married twice count?
* Presence and age of children – 17% have kids under 18 -- Well, I have two grandkids under 18....
