Dear world,
I was after an opinion.....My girlfriend and I decided that we would do some recreational diving and enrolled in a scuba course.
As part of the course we had to get a diving medical done. I passed, however she did'nt....
The results came back that she 'may have a slight underlying asthma'....
She is 23 years old and has never had asthma in her life....never had any symptoms, never used any medication for it, never even suspected it. She swims regualrly and can out swim me quite easily without getting any weezing or anything like that.
At the time she took the test she was getting over a cold and I suspect this is what they sent her for tests for...
From everything I have read in the last few days she should have been cleared to dive....
I would be very interested in hearing from people that may have had this happen to them and if and how they got around it or from anyone that is an asthmatic and dives often without any problems.
Regards,
Dean Harry
