This tread is over a year old folks, hope he's made his decision by now.
Old is a state of mind. I completed my DM when I was 60, and my Instructor course just past 61, I was not the oldest in the group. I will start my Tec Diver course next week in Utila with UDC, and very much looking forward to it. I like to think of myself as merely 31 for the second time
Hi I am in my late forties and I am considering doing a dive master internship in Cyprus. There are internships in Cyprus that will take me from a beginner to dive master in a relatively short time. In a couple of weeks I will be in Cyprus doing voluntary work with a conservation group protecting birds from poachers. I have always wanted to learn to dive and whilst I was out there I thought I could take the opportunity to do so. I have had a long time dream to work in wildlife conservation and as a dive master I would be able to find work in my chosen field. I would like some advice as to whether this is a realistic goal as I don't really know how hard this would be for someone of my age with a reasonable level of fitness. Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
