20+ years. Northern California to start then I found warm water - Key Largo, Cozumel (many times), Grand Cayman (south and east), Bonaire. Then I got married and had a kid and now vacations are to Disney Land.

I haven't been in 10+ years, but I learned in Socal when I was young, and have done Catalina, the Poor Knights Islands in New Zealand, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

I'd love to get back into it again.

Scuba did nothing for me in the north Pacific. Did the tests and pool work, but nothing in the cold ocean which often requires a dry suit and very short stints. It's simply too much work and expense. Now if I were in Hawaii, it would be a different story.

The same goes with surfing. I would go if I didn't have to have a full wet suit, hoodie, and booties, so I skate instead. And yes, I know, skating is very dangerous. In 35+ years of doing skating vs. ocean sports, the only surfers I know of who died or got severely hurt were driving on a dangerous road en route to some waves and had a car accident or partied too hard on drugs and overdosed. As for skating, people get hurt or killed all the time, mostly due to run ins with cars.
