: I am about to start a PADI open water dive course. I have had an ileostomy for 3 years and was wondering if anyone has any advise on this matter.

i have had an ileostomy for 28 years - i learned to dive in the UK - 2 years after my op. i dive now.
just avoid food which will cause excessive wind! or wear a bag with a filter to release the extra pressure. the rest is exactly the same for everyone
