- I just don't log dives
but either way i have a answer, but i want the communitys opinion on this.
Recently i have gotten a wild hair and two big things have stood out to me in my life so far. Snorkling in hawaii and swimming with a sea turtle, and canopy flight skydiving.
I have decided to learn hang gliding, and im interested in scuba,
My Problem is this....
Im a Heart patient.
I am having my mom ask the cardiologist if i can or not, If i can, im going to get freediving certified, if i cant, well, heres the question to all of you....
Your cardiologist may not have a lot of information to base an opinion on with regards to your fitness to SCUBA dive. Many doctors have a knee-jerk "no" reaction simply because they don't want to the liability.
You might want to recommend that he contact Diver's Alert Network. They'll be happy to discuss the issues with him.

You may or may not be disqualified from SCUBA diving, depending on what was done and how everything has healed.
