Can people with seafood allergies go scuba diving?

Seafood and scuba: You should have no problems doing scuba with a seafood allergy - as long as you don't touch fish without gloves on. But just swimming should pose no danger to you.

Depends: Usually seafood allergies mean that ingestion results in hives or other severe allergic reactions, anaphylaxis. Since there is no ingestion while scuba diving, an ingestion reaction is unlikely. If the diver wears a wet suit and gloves, a contact skin reaction is also unlikely. Consult an allergist if appropriate.

Probably: Just don't eat what you see !

Yes.: Seafood allergies should have no relation to swimming in salt water or fresh water, or scuba diving. Only if one has a skin allergy to some of the various minerals in water is there a problem (for example, chlorine in pools). It is only ingesting seafood that one must avoid if allergic to that specific seafood. As i mentioned in recent answer, shellfish and other types fish r different types.
