It depends on how long ago you had this surgery. I had it done in my 30s and have logged about 500+ dives since. You don’t really swim while diving, but it’s important that you are comfortable in the water. You will need to take a resort course to get certified. They do various pool sessions before they take you out to open water.

There is a wealth of information at Divers Alert Network. Take some time and research this as each person with asthma will be slightly different. However, you have to look at it first in terms of safety. If for any reason, the person with asthma has an "attack" while diving, this could be extremely dangerous or even fatal especially if their diving partner doesn't notice right away. Say, if you're hiking with a group you can easily let others' know of your predicament. Diving on the other hand, besides hand-signals, it is difficult to explain complicated issues. Hand signals for SCUBA are to the point and easy to use.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately we won't be doing any courses for that month. :)

Thank you for this question.You have to put 'safety' above all else. Which means, say for example, while scuba diving you somehow got away from the instructor and went up to the surface. Now if you can't swim this could be extremely dangerous. This is why it isn't recommended to scuba dive as a non-swimmer.

Big guys can dive too! Visit our homepage and click on the 'Contact' page. Fill your information in and lets go diving :)

I'm sorry but we do not have instructors that speak Spanish. Lo siento pero no tenemos instructores que hablen español.

Small reef sharks are commonly seen on the dive points we dive.

Hi Sonia, We do see sharks regularly on our dives. However if you are interested in being with large sharks you should look into the shark tours on the North Shore of the island. Aloha
