HEALTH
FOR DIVING
Dive health also includes
taking care of yourself in other ways
- including keeping your skills and
knowledge sharp. The best way to do
this is to be an active diver - dive
- this helps maintain your dive skills.
Take part in new underwater adventures,
like dive travel and special activities
and courses. You'll have fun while developing
new dive skills and improving and refining
those you have. If possible, swim with
fins in a pool regularly to keep your
leg muscles toned - and it's a good
aerobic exercise. Practice the skills
you learn in this course frequently.
If you're away from
diving for awhile, no sweat - it happens
to all divers once in a while - refresh
your dive skills and knowledge. Review
this manual, the Open Water Diver- Video
and practice your skills with a PADI
Dive master, Assistant Instructor or
Instructor. The PADI Scuba Review program
refreshes your knowledge and skills,
and it's quick and easy - one evening
or a morning is usually all you need.
Tune up, dive in.

If you're a woman,
you have some special health considerations,
including menstruation and pregnancy.
As long as menstruation doesn't normally
keep you from participating in other
active recreations, there's no reason
why it should keep you from diving either.
Diving while pregnant is another story.
There's not much known
about how diving may affect a developing
fetus. It's generally agreed that it's
not worth the risk; so discontinue diving
while pregnant, or if you're trying
to become pregnant.
