Don,
In February we covered this fairly well.
Leni Riefenstahl, Adolf Hitler's favorite film maker & one of the 3rd
Reich's last surviving personalities, is, at age 96, still scuba diving and
doing it for both pleasure and commercial reasons.
If she isn't the oldest at least she is the best documented.

I know a lady who dives recreationally and is 78. She didn't start diving
until she was over 60 and has dived the San Francisco Maru (a deep dive in
Chuuk). I was with her on her 250th and 300th dives.
I say we limit this to divers we know are still diving (or at least were
recently) and specify if they are recreational or commercial.
I certainly hope to be diving at 80!
