Cardiologist: I don't think so but review your cardiac disease with your cardiologist who knows your heart. You might stick to snorkeling. All the best.

SCUBA: Without knowing the specifics of your 'heart condition', the valve situation and asthma, I would have to caution you against diving. It is best that you check with your own cardiologist for questions like this.

Wrong forum: We can often provide some medical advice based on the information you provide in the question.However, the question you ask would require that we have a full history, exam and list of meds.Becoming certified to do scuba would likely require medical clearance before a reputable source would let you rent the equipment.Talk to your treating docs and see if they think it is wise/possible.
