There are people here who do scuba with devices. You need to check to see what the depth rating is for your devise though. Mine is very shallow so I won't be doing scuba anytime soon.... Oh well, there are plenty of other things in the water that I can!

Have fun!

I have the pacer defib device which is large but swimming easy and have used scuba one time with no problem. Wesboog

Golf

Only problem with golf and pacemaker is that anticoagulants and wrong swing causes a hematoma around the device which looks ugly but doesn't hurt. Have others this problem? wesboog

I wasn't really self-conscious about it. I didn't even know I had one until around six or seven years old. I just thought I had a rock in my side.
