What lovely memories @raj808 . I know your back has caused you much misery for being so active in your younger years. I'm not sure how I could deal with that. I'm glad you have got scuba diving!!! I am not sure whata I'd do without the ocean.
Yeah my Dad was vego - still is - in the '70's and was fitter than all the people he surfed with. People would laugh at him but he was the healthy one and stuck to his guns!
