Last winter I went to Cozumel and took my Advanced Open Water course. Before I could take the course I had to get a medical checkup and I went to a local medical clinic. When the doctor found out I smoked he insisted I get a chest X-Ray. He then signed the medical release with the caveat that I couldn't dive deeper than 60 feet.
I was wondering if there is scientific evidence to support the notion that it is safe for a smoker to dive to 60 feet but unsafe to dive deeper. What is the rational behind this?
Thanks
