Have you talked to the docs at Diver's Alert Network? Some asthmatics
can dive, but the run of the mill doc will give an instant NO if asked.

DAN is at http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/ They have an 800 number
for questions like yours.

Chuck has a point, but it's not a good one.

I use my Boston Whaler on the Pacific Ocean about 70 days a year.
I'm
coming up on having had it for 8 years. That's 560 days. The
engine
has 725 hours. I have maybe six days on the Pacific that
qualify towards a Captain's license.

So you only go out for 1.2 hours at a time on average?

Why bother to go at all? :)

He is only in the boat for a little over 1.2 hours of the trip.

Er...huh?

He is a diver.

Yeah - he mentioned that in another post.

I wish I could still dive - that's probably the one thing I can't do
that I really wish I could do again.

My wetsuit shrank. And here, you require a very warm wetsuit.

I still have my drysuit and full gear including full face mask, but I
have drug enduced asthma - no can do anymore.
