Lung dz scuba diving: If your pulmonologist believes it would be safe, given your exam, history, studies, severity level, you can. Most scuba fatalities result from difficulties with judgement or physical fitness. http://www.scuba-doc.com/mdxphys.htm

How severe?: If you can engage in physical activity of the same intensity as scuba diving, there is no reason you can not engage in scuba diving. To be safe, it would be prudent to check with your doctor who knows more about your health than just what you mentioned.
