I'm really looking forward to continue with my diving life, but I'm pregnant now & I've read many articles that it's not so safe to dive while pregnant.
Any advices regarding this issue?
I've been advised to stick to snorkeling for the time being..
NooooOOOOooooo! I suppose it is better safe than sorry in your condition, and keeping in mind that the nitrogen intake will also affect your baby, it is best you keep to snorkeling. I am no expert at this, but logically that would make sence. Hope you get back in the water soon.

There really isn't enough known about the risks of diving while pregnant..... it just isn't worth the risk! It is a very short time to be dry, but you can continue your diving education with books and ScubaBoard for that time. Also, discuss EVERYTHING with your OB doctor before you decide what is safe. (especially if this is your first child)
I agree with everyone. There just isn't enough research to say if it's 100% safe. It won't be too long! You know what they say...absence makes the heart grow fonder. When you can return to diving you will love it even more! Take care of yourself and your little diver!
