Hello everyone,

I have a question. Before I ask, here's a little background. A guy I know is a qualified scuba diver. Four years ago, he was involved in an accident where one of his students bolted and he rescued him/her. As a result, he suffered serious irreversible damage in his lungs. He received a note stating the doctor does not recommend him scuba diving again. I know he daydreams of scuba diving again, as his heart belongs to the sea. I know he is working on making his lungs better. Could he ever scuba dive again?
 
The idea of getting a second opinion is good. Be sure the doctor is knowledgeable about diving and dive medicine.

Also, if the second opinion is the same as the first, perhaps there are alternative ways he can connect to the sea.

Assoc4, unfortunately there is not enough information here to provide an answer to your question. What kind of accident did he have? What type of damage was done to his lungs? What was the specialty of the physician who recommended that he not dive again? What do you mean by "working on making his lungs better"?

Best regards,
DDM
