Scuba Dividing While Pregnant? Is it OK?
Scuba diving during pregnancy is generally not recommended due to potential risks. Organizations like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Divers Alert Network suggest avoiding scuba diving for the entire pregnancy. The main concern is that pressure changes could harm the developing fetus and pose a risk of decompression sickness. While diving in the early weeks may not have serious effects, it is safer to refrain from diving altogether once pregnancy is confirmed.
