[PSUBS-MAILIST] A question for you Scuba guys

[Chris Nugent <dirkpitt77@yahoo.com>]

    Hey all,

   Well, once again it's that time for Nuge to pipe up
and stir the thick, steamy cauldron of wisdom that is
the Psubs group.  I've been doing a little reading on
scuba, in particular the physical requirements of a
person seeking to undertake said recreation.  I
noticed that the author of the book I bought (Scuba
Diving, by Dennis K. Graver) stated that persons with
epilepsy (which I have) ought not to dive due to
stresses placed on the body which might aggravate the
condition.  My condition's been under control for
about 10 or 12 years with meds, problem free.  I
thought some of you guys might have thoughts on this,
whether those physical requirements are written in
stone, or will a dive physician consider it on a case
by case basis.  I've heard it said before in here that
having a scuba cert is a good idea if you want to
build a sub, so that's where I'm going with this.  Let
me know what you think, anyone.
   On another note, this to Dale: Congrats on your
shakedown cruise, man!  If it's anything which has
inspired me on here, it's checking out the pics Ray
posts from time to time.  Rock n Roll!
   Ok, I'm done.  

                                      Laters,

                                           Nuge
