: Hi
: Im thinking of learning how to dive soon, I have Asthma, it's controlled and mild, but I was wondering if this might be a problem, and prevent me from diving. I have been diving before and it didn't cause any difficulties then. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would suggest getting a medical before learning as you should declare asthma on your medical clearance. Your GP could do it, but you would be better off with a diving physician ask whoever you're learning with if they can recommend anyone.
