How long should I wait to dive?

Rate this Entry
Okay, I am wondering how long I should wait before diving again. I am going to Orlando in April for work and would love to do some cavern or gulf dives. Would I be healed enough to dive by then?

I will be jsut shy of 3 months post-op by then. I didn't have any problems diving that soon after back surgery but I am worried about the pressure diving puts on the body. Any suggestions?

    Speak to your doctor about it. I know light exercise can start at 6 weeks and then weight training and harder workouts at 3 months so this is something you should ask them.

    My doctor advised me all normal activites (including heavy weight lifting, etc) can resume after 4-5 weeks. I'd dive at 3 months out - but if you're unsure - it's best to ask your doc.

    Thanks guys, I have a message in to him but was curious if there are any other divers on here and how soon they dove.
