Adaptive Diving
The Adaptive Diver Program with Courage Kenny Rehabilitation
Center is progressing nicely. We have gone from “trying scuba”
the first Monday of every month to starting to schedule
certifications; classroom, pool and lakes dives.
We are also looking at scheduling some “fun dives” focused on
the Adaptive Diving Community in the local area this year. Any
questions or if you would like to get involved give Mark a call!

DAN Medical Frequently Asked Questions Question: I am a 64-year-old healthy male working full-time in construction on an almost daily basis. How long do you feel I should be able to continue diving; and are there special physicals that are rec-ommended on an annual or semiannual basis? Answer: The cornerstone of health maintenance and disease prevention is an annual medical examination by your physician. Physical fitness and good health are necessary to participate in scuba; a lack of physical fitness or any type of acute illness usually re-stricts some normal activities — including diving. In general, the decision to stop diving varies in individuals, but there are guidelines a healthy 64-year-old male should consid-er. Physical fitness is a key element for diving. Generally, you should have the ability to perform activities like surface swims and entering a boat after a dive. The most important medical consideration in a disease-free individual includes soundness of the cardiovascular system and the lungs. Before you dive, you should be free of symptoms such as coughing, congestion, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing after exertion. To some degree, cardiovascular dis-ease affects the vessels of the heart in all older individuals. Your physician can order a procedure called a treadmill "stress" test to evaluate your cardiovascular response to exertion.
