In the swim of things: Diving instructor is a model of fitness at 62


Age has not diminished Steffen Ng’s passion for diving. At 62, he is loving every minute of his job as a diving instructor.

The sea is his playground, the beach is his home. Steffen Ng, 62, has truly found a place under the sun.

Steffen Ng turns up for our meeting in a casual T-shirt, Hawaiian shorts and sandals. Tanned and sporting a pony-tail, the six-footer is every inch an islander. Ng operates Steffen Sea Sports, a dive centre in Pulau Weh, an active volcanic island off Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra.
