You can dive over 50 years of age...B Spaulding - Instructor / Retired February 6, 2008 at 15:20:57Here is what Dan claims: From DAN:
No upper age limit for participation in scuba diving exists, provided a diver is healthy and fit and has no disqualifying medical conditions. Some divers may be asked by their physician to perform an exercise tolerance test to rule out any cardiovascular (heart) problems - this is appropriate when the diver is older or appears generally out of shape. This test allows a physician to collect information about how well an individual responds to exercise. I am 76 and have no intention of quiting.
