Should I dive while on these or not? Forgot to ask when I was at the doctors thsi morning! |
Sorry, forgot to add that if you do dive, be sure let your buddy / DM /instructor know about the numbness before the dive. Otherwise you can just imagine the scene post die "so how do you feel?" "OK, but legs numb and foot hurts like hell". Recipe for O2 and call to the coastguard
