Diving

Hello, everybody!
I want to start diving but I'm not sure if my pm will alow that.
Last year I asked my doctor about it and he just told me that human beings are made to walk on earth and not swimming underwater... So, there is absolutely no help from him.
I tried to contact Medtronic to ask them how much pressure can my pm endure but I didn't get any answers.

I'd call them again and ask someone else or look in your manual. We are allowed to dive but are limited in how deep we can go. Each device is different so you'll need to find out what's allowed for yours.

Dive, dive dive!

I recreational dive and have no problems.
