Subject: Re: The ageing diver
Richard,
I,m old enough that I retired from my regular job but still am very
active teaching scuba. I do get a checkup each year and am quite a bit
more active than when I had a desk job. I don't think age alone should
be the factor that decides when you should stop or even slow down.
