I have spinal problems, cant carry weight, low blood pressure, Oh the list goes on; but I know that people in a far worse condition than me dive happily and I think with the right buddy (Mr Sooty Stoo who is my hubby and carer  and knows ME) I could dive quite easily once actually in the water.
Do I really have to pay to see a Dive doc just to do a try dive? What if I'm wrong and I don't like it or my back spasms or ???? Its wasted money and trip.
Any advise gratefully recieved, If anyone has been down this path before (and I know some have) please tell me how you did it.
Many Thanks |
I dont think you should expect to be able to dive without a medical, i would not take you underwater or even into water unless a doc said it was ok, and i have taught people with disabilitys, did you see the video. The people i took didnt see a diving doctor, so long as a doc says you can, you can.
