How old do you go?

[texdiveguy]

I am only 53, my plans call for continued sport and technical diving through my 60's....then maybe just sport dives....we'll see.

I too am only 53 and will continue to dive my doubles, dry suit, cold water, caves, wrecks, scooter, etc until I can no longer handle my doubles. Then I will switch to smaller doubles, then to single tank, etc. I plan to be diving for a very long time!

Maybe someday we won't need 70 lbs worth of steel/alum to hold 12 pounds of air.
Wouldn't that be nice.
hmmm.. Maybe that means rebreathers will get more popular with the 'golden members'

Rebreathers would work for me if it means diving longer. :blinking:

I have friends in their 70"s that are regulars at COCO View

Well I'm just in my 60's and I wish I were a little more regular every morning.

Go to the islands - drinks lots of tap water from lots of places - Bet you can get real regular

I'm almost 60. I know a guy 72 that dives and a guy 79 that stopped because he was afraid of being offshore using "cumaden?" blood thinner, even sold his sailboat. The guy that was 79 used to be a commercial diver in New York City, came down here on vacation, saw the cllear water and never went back, about 50 years ago.

Well I suppose you already saw that Sir Arthur C Clarke just died at the ripe young age of 90 in Sri Lanka and his main reason for moving there was "because of the diving".

Until the point at which the dive masters on the boat refuse to pull me up out of the water on a davit.
