Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Happy to see you'll be back under the waves once again! I know you're looking forward to it. Have fun, and please be careful. :-) -Jeff Clarion 90K 12/03 > Last month I wrote about not been able to scuba dive as I was a keen diver before the implant. I was under the idea that the implant itself was the stopping diving. I just done heaps of researching thanks to you people out there that do it. I even made cochlear ltd write a letter saying that it has been cleared with there testing. With all my information I went for a second opinion and pleased to say that I will be underwater again. The doctor explained to me why I was rejected and a lot of it is to do with the risk factor. It was a risk diving before the implant but done properly the risk is not really there. Gee driving a car is a risk but they don't stop you doing that. Once I proved my ear drums could equallise and with him talking to cohlear ltd on the phone to say that in a the rare case of blown ear drums doesn't effect the internal operation I was cleared. Of course, you must dive safe with a good dive buddy and slowly asscend and everything will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
