Did you mention to your doctor you were going to be SCUBA diving? I sounds like he thought you would be free-diving, where you how hold your breath and dive down, then resurface. In SCUBA diving, you are breathing air at ambient pressure, no matter how deep you go, and there will be no pressure on your rib cage. You may want to get a second opinion from your doctor, after you've explained that to him or her. Also have him contact Divers Alert Network (DAN). They have tons of medical information concerning diving.

If you dive in places where the bottom is 50 feet or less, there will still lots of things to see. In addition, your air lasts longer when you are shallower, and the light is better, as well.

I highly recommend you have your "bone dr" contact DAN.

Good luck,

Ron
