Oldest diver?

[Dannybot]

Mother in law is getting certified, wants to know how old seniors are when they get certified. Any idea? Instructor said prior oldest is 67.

Old seniors are fine when they get certified. Or they are lying about it.

I am 77, did PADI OW & AOW last year, 40 warm water dives on holiday so far. My main sport is Mountain Bikeing, as long as you are fit enough why not? P.S. I class myself as a rubbish swimmer.Diving is great fun!

I taught my dad to dive last summer at the young age of 63:blinking:. (Don't tell him this,..) He was my toughest student to date.

There are at least 3 threads that I remember, about this topic during the last few years. A little search with the search engine will show you the results and your answers.
I'm now 49 and it's already 2.5 years that I've been certified.

I dove in Varadero last year with a guy who was almost 70 (short a few months ) ..

He'd been certified for 2 yrs! (but he has 50 dives !) I'd take him as a buddy over Any of the 20 yr old's I've dove with! Dive experience is good, but Life-experience will teach you more!
