Meet Betty, a diver who’s staying at Pirates Point this week. Betty took up diving at age 56 and now she’s 84 and still at it. She’s an inspiration. She’s been diving at Pirates Point for 11 years, but she also dives all over the world. In February of this year, she went diving in Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. She says she loves diving in the South Pacific, in addition to diving at Little Cayman. She’s pictured here with her dive buddy Walt; they’ve been diving together since 1993. They met diving in Cozumel. Neither of their spouses dives, so they team up to dive down.
Betty dives using Nitrox and recently learned about Pirates Point's new Nitrox analyzer. So she not only keeps up her dive skills, she stays current with the latest dive technology too. So when you’re whining about some aching muscle or stupid little wrinkle, think of Betty and just get over it.

Wow. Go Betty! Learning to dive at 56 is pretty amazing. That's at an age when most people's activity consists of a walk around the block. Still diving at 84 and keeping up with the technology is even more amazing. Yes, that woman is a total inspiration!
