There is no upper age limit for diving in good health. There are those who dive in good health at seventy, even if they are an exception.

Diving stresses the heart under pressure, and consulting a cardiologist is necessary before starting.

Emphysema and other breathing problems pose a risk in diving and require careful evaluation.

Joint Diseases
Severe joint pain may make diving difficult, but rarely prevents it completely.
