In August, this remarkable 90-year-old spent his birthday… diving for 41 minutes on the wreck of the ferry M/S “Zenobia” – one of the biggest wreck attractions in Cyprus. It was his birthday dive in the coastal waters of the city of Larnaca that earned him the title of the oldest and still active diver in the world.

Previously, this record belonged to the US-born Erwin Paul Staller, who was born on 14 May 1921 and won his title on 24 October 2014, when he was 93 years and 163 days old. As you can see, the new record holder has slightly improved the result, no less huge admiration and respect is due to both seniors.

Ray Wooley began his diving adventure in the 1960s and it continues to this day. Full of energy and in great shape, he promotes a healthy lifestyle. He also encourages people of all ages to try scuba diving, ensuring that a person is never too old to do what they love.
