Question Asthma & diving

I've just been contacted by a friend saying that her doctor wont sign her off for her medical because she has very mild asthma. He has told her that "No one with asthma can dive"

She has googled this and has found out that as long as it is mild and under control (she has not had an attack since 1992!!) then it should be ok

I was under the same impression.

She has done 4 trial dives at obviously weren't very deep and she didn't encountered any problems.

Could some light please be shed on thie fr her benefit please. She is desperae to be signed of so she can do her OW!

Thanks guys!
