And hats off to you taking up a good, healthy and interesting hobby at your age.
I learned to dive in 1979 and the open water course was 6 weeks full time training.
When P.A.D.I came along many years after we used to scoff and call them all sorts of names, lousy training that was pool based ,other than a boat dive which was performed in the calmest of waters inside the bay peninsula.
It was a fkin joke to watch those guys get certified.
Everybody is PADI now and nobody dies trying unless the boat leaves you to the sharks.
Enjoy it mate , like some others here id love to get back into it.
