A member asked:

Can an obese person (151kg , 1.85 m ) with controlled hypertention do scuba diving?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Obesity and: controlled hypertension alone are probably not contraindications for scuba diving, as long as you have no other medical problems or any symptoms such as exertional chest pain or shortness of breath.
