Have maybe 15k dives under me
Taught for 15 years and fun lots more moved away from the islands in my 40s and miss the diving was also a big time free diver
Don’t dive these days from where I live but miss it reckon one day live on the water again so it’s just walk out go in fun to see other scuba folks

If I could do it in my back yard it would be great but loading up the gear in the truck, driving X number of miles to the site, loading everything on a a boat then repeat on the way back for maybe 90 minutes underwater just isn't worth the effort anymore.
I do do more shooting now, I built a range 10 minutes from the house so when ever I feel like it I can go shoot.
You just mentally adjust to not being able to do what you could do when you were younger but it doesn't mean don't miss it.
