Diving in your thirties: the best time to learn diving

The thirties combine the wisdom of experience and the energy of youth, which makes them among the best ages to start serious diving.

Why the thirties are ideal for diving

In the thirties you have a degree of financial stability to fund equipment and trips. You have the patience of maturity to learn the basics correctly, not in a rush. Your body is still at the peak of its adaptive ability.

Challenges in the thirties

• Family and work responsibilities restrict time. The solution: plan at least a weekly dive.
• The body recovers less than it used to. The solution: good sleep and nutrition after intensive dives.

How to benefit from this age

Start with a full course, not only a try dive. A person in their thirties who learns seriously becomes a good diver faster than a random teenager.

Long-term planning

Start setting a five-year diving goal. Where do you want to be as a diver at 35? This goal will guide your training investments.
