Master Divers of Bali

This slightly faded photo is another proof that longer you dive, longer you live.

- combined age of our BCDs probably exceeding your age, dear reader
- combined number of dives a nice 5 digit number
- combined age of three of us would make Methuselah look like a baby
- combined pleasure of our diving together is..., well. not bad at all…:)

When the goal is pure, good diving advanced age is inconsequential.

When the goal is pure business, we come to some controversial concepts.

Is generation I (infants) our next target group for selling scuba pleasures?

a) if we extrapolate tendencies of some scuba diving training agencies, this is a solid fact
b) as every minute three hundred infants reach age of six months (suitable for an infant scuba course) it is a fantastic business opportunity
c) as every generation has shorter attention time span, generation G (Gold fish) has now maximum attention time span of 140 characters (on Twitter), we can reduce dive times even more with generation I – profits will soar like eagles…
d) or group F (Free Spirits) is our target group, be it young students, middle aged travelers, retired and still alive people...

As for many things in life there are at least two schools of thinking also on this subject.

A huge group of vultures in our line of business would jump to a, b and c answers as a starving hyena on a wounded antelope. Most of them have already sold their souls for a dollar, so they have to make another dollar somewhere else…

The other school of thinking would say “Go very, very gently on youngsters when offering SCUBA diving. Diving is really more a state of mind, than anything else, however, physiological consequences for still developing and growing body can be rather unpredictable and psychologically kids act very different from adults...

And who is more eligible to provide proper answers, medical experts or sellers of diving pleasures, is up to you to decide.

SCUBA diving shouldn’t become just another activity to brag about.

You simply do it.

For you.

SCUBA diving can temporarily beam you to another, much bigger part of our small earthly universe. Through levitation in the blue waters you absorb serenity, freedom, peace… and changes within you are subtle and yet very powerful.
