How old can u scuba dive to?

[Oxy]

About five minutes after they stop breathing on the average! Then it's a recovery and they won't let them go back in!

yer sic!
I hope we get a chance to dive

Thanks, the reason I ask is because I am 41 and considering getting certified. I just want to know how many good years I got left in me.

There all behind you, suicide is painless, it brings on many changes!

I got certified at 55. Now I'm 56 with over 100 dives to Bahamas, Roatan (twice) Tahiti, Fiji, Hawaii, Red Sea, Great barrier reef, & Belize. You're only 41. Good grief, a veritable youth. Get going! Times a wasting!

Geeez, It's 20 years before you even qualify as Grumpy Old Diver!!! My Dad dove with me into his 80's.

Cinematographer/photographer Leni Riefenstahl was scuba diving and taking photos underwater at 100.

Don't forget,she was well into her 70's when she started scuba.

The answer is not straight forward. It depends on the size of your cillinder and your Surface Air Consumption rate. ;-)

You've only got 30 days left so hurry up and get going. There is no limit as long as you can keep breathing.

It never even occurred to me to wonder whether I might be too old for it to be worth getting certified when I did so at 46. If I'd thought about it, it would have been along the lines of - good, I haven't yet wasted half of my life not being able to dive.

I had a student aged 92 once. He cancelled at the last minute because he'd decided to go on a 2-day solo sea kayak to the neighbouring island (20 miles each way).
