  • Q.9 : Which medical conditions hamper scuba diving?

    Answer: If you have a medical condition due to which your respiratory or cardiovascular systems are affected, or that renders you suddenly and unexpectedly unable to respond quickly or at all, then you cannot scuba dive. Asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, and heart disease are some of the common contraindications. You should consult a doctor first in case you have any of these or other illnesses, which might cause similar problems. People with the following conditions should not scuba dive:

    • People with breathing problems
    • People with ear problems or people who have had ear surgery in the last 1 year
    • People having cold, flu, or congestion. Those with a cold should take decongestion medication in order to dive. Otherwise, they may face problems while ascending to the surface.

    Other reasons you may be asked to see a doctor include (but are not limited to) the following:

    • Shortness of breath
    • A history of heart or lung disease
    • A recent history of nausea or vomiting
    • An unexplained loss of consciousness or “blackout”
    • Repeated trouble clearing air spaces (equalisation)
    • The use of prescription or non-prescription medications
  • Q.10 : Will my ears hurt during scuba diving?

    Answer: The ears hurt because of the water pressure on your eardrum. While taking a scuba diving course, you will be learning east techniques to equalise your ears to the surrounding pressure, somehow similar to when you land after a flight.
