Hello, all!
I'm 61, took NAUI Open Water training, getting ready for OW checkout. Had no problem with the pool training. My trainer wanted me to get a stress test before the checkout dive. So I had one, passed it, no problem, flying colors, all that.
NOW he wants to know how many METs I got up to in the stress test. He says minimum 10, preferred 13.
My doctor did not measure for METs during the stress test.
Is there another way to get a METs measurement other than having another stress test? The treadmills at the gym show METs, but no way to get a printout.
Do I have to arrange to meet my SCUBA trainer at the gym and have him witness it, or is there some other way to get this over with?
Thanks, Everyone!
