| Imported post Andy This could be positive news if he is off any medication. http://www.uksdmc.co.uk/standards/St...20epilepsy.htm As he could do far more damage to those aroung him while driving, I would be happy to have him diving. Adrian

| Imported post Hmmm... not sure if it's altogether a great idea IMO, diving does cause brain lesions and I can't see that's going to be conducive to his continuing improved health. On a personal but extremely relevant note, my epileptic older brother had been free of fitting for many years however he died one night due to it's reoccurence (this happened almost 15 years ago) |
