Got certified at 48. I've done all but 19 of my 226 dives after 50. Wish I would have started 30 years sooner but I still figure I'll get to 1000 dives.
I was 36 when I started diving. This last summer, I just certified my dad to dive at the young age of 63. Now he can't wait to get back into the water.

started when I was 14, 26 now. Took some time off for some stupid reason and now in the past year im starting to dive at least once a week.
I taught myself how to dive at the tender young age of 21 when I was young and indestructible. I didn't get certified until I was 51. In the interim, I learned how to fly, ski, and sail. Now I'm 60 with four expensive hobbies. Hope to have plenty more dives left in me.
