Hi.
My friend who has MTHFR deficiency want to enroll a scuba diving course.
Is it possible? or not because of danger for decompression injury?
Best Regards.
Tom
 
Hi Thomas,

There are a lot of variations of MTHFR deficiency. We'd need more information on your friend's case before forming any opinions on this. The best advice would be to seek out a diving medical professional for an in-person evaluation.

Best regards,
