I just had the upper right lobe of my lung removed and I'm going to continue diving. Going to start diving soon, so I completed the Nitrox course. Seems like a good idea since part of my lung was removed.

Looking for a diver(s) with the same situation to contact me. Either by replying to this post or PM me. Would like to know if there is anything that out of the normal scope of diving that I need to address.

All of my doctors say they do not see any problem with me returning to scuba diving.

My first dive plan is to do 2-20' dives to see if there is any change in my breathing underwater and how I tolerate the gear above the water ( getting suited up and entering - exiting the water from or to the boat).

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Joe,

I commend you on your spirit! It would be easy to use your situation as an excuse to avoid doing things.

Sounds like you have a good approach in mind. Best of luck!

Let us know how it turns out.
