I recently tore my calf muscle. I felt the "pop" as if someone hit me in the back of the calf with a softball. I can still move my foot up and down and there is no bruising, but slight swelling. My primary doctor ruled out achilles tendon, but wants me to go see an ortho doc and get an MRI. I put weight on the leg, and it is comfortable if I don't stretch or contract the calf.
I have decompression training coming up in three weeks followed by five days of cave diving. My question is how feasible is it to dive? I feel I could just baby the one leg and use it as basically a rudder and to redirect the thrust when frogkicking. Or perhaps you guys have a suggestion for another kick.
Also, any worries about decompression diving with it? I am doing decompression dives with a soft ceiling only. Cave dives will stay within Intro to Cave Limits (my cert).
PS> I don't really care if the diving makes the healing process take longer, but I don't want to cause permanent injury.
