Background info
My DAN-approved doctor has cleared me for diving, and I have had no problems after hundreds of dives. My asthma is well controlled. However, occasionally, when I sneeze, I sometimes start wheezing. And I have sneezed a few times underwater. So, out of an abundance of caution, I was wondering about diving with an inhaler.
Question
Since I use a full face mask, I was wondering if I could either keep an inhaler in it or put it in there if necessary. The mask doesn't really leak much even when I put a few fingers in it. Accessing it isn't as big of a concern as it's ability to function at depth. Do inhalers even work down there? Is it going to explode in my face?
