With an ever-increasing 50+ population and advances in medicine, many of us pick new hobbies or continue old favorites. While some sports may remain better suited for youth, scuba diving and advancing age are perfectly compatible as long as you keep these 13 things in mind.
1. Basic Good Health Is Required
Age alone doesn’t increase the inherent risks of scuba diving. But health conditions that accompany old age, like a relatively minor heart issue that may make you feel faint on land, could be deadly while diving.
First things first: Talk to your physician to confirm you’re healthy enough to dive. The earlier you start, the easier it will be to build a solid foundation of health you can maintain well into old age.
