Waiting to submerge

I have recently had a St. Jude pacemaker implanted.  I plan on returning to scuba diving in a couple of months. 

Is there any one out there who uses a special device to protect the pacemaker from the weight exerted on the BCD strap that lays over the pacemaker?

Scuba diving

Hi.

I'm not quite sure (as I don't remember) if we have any members that scuba dive or not. However, while you wait for a reply, perhaps you could use the SEARCH which is located at the upper right hand corner of this page...just type in "scuba diving" and see what pops up.

Best of luck,
Pookie

You know you're wired when...

You need to be re-booted each morning.

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
