I didn't actually say in my intro but I'm Brisbane based and am going
on my first local dive since moving to Australia on Sunday. I am
planning to go up to Maroochydore and dive the Ex HMAS Brisbane with
Sunreef.

There seems to be some excellent sites all around Brisbane so it makes
quite a change from Reading in the UK.

I'm sure that I've read somewhere that Asthma doesn't prevent someone
diving and I believe that swimming is quite beneficial.

cheers,
Danny

My Understanding is Asthma is no good due to the nature of the
constriction of the wind pipes and pressure can cause them to seal. I am
no doctor but when I was told this it seemed to be said with some
conviction.

Been a while since I did my original course but I am sure Asthmatics are
not allowed to dive.

I am also sure that every rule can be broken

I am sure you could ask the Oracle (google)

I think I've been to Reading in the distant past. Got talked into diving
when I was in the UK. It was cold, there was no vis, there was a huge
current and the wreck that I was hanging onto was not that interesting. Beer
was warm and I loved it and the local lifeboat crew type blokes ( and
sheilas ) were great. They couldn't understand me an I couldn't understand
them, a few beers who gives a ..............
