I had a pacemaker implanted just 2 wks ago so I'm being careful about my activities untill my Dr gives the ok. I've been a passionate scuba diver for over 40 yrs now , and at first it looked like I'd have to give it up. Now, it seems like all will be ok .I'm sure my first dives with a pm will be accompanied by some anxiety, but I'm also sure that the anxiety will pass with time and experience. I've already decided that I'm going to limit my dives to about 50 ft, and that's ok. Except for the deep wrecks in the Florida Keys, I won't be missing anything. Also, that limitation will keep me well within the range where the great lobster diving is.

Mithrax,

This is a great forum and great place to find information! While I am not a suba diver, I am sure you will find answers and directions on what to do about diving and when. Your doctor may be able to also provide the best information, but you will get great clues as to when and what to ask from the good folks at this site!

Welcome. Glad to hear you aren't having lots of problems since implant. You are encouraging those of us who are having a bit more difficulty adjusting to the new lifestyle.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
