As an instructor I know that Epilepsy and diving is not recommended in any form. However, I have a customer who wants his wife to dive with him (safely of course), and would like to know to what extent or what level of epilepsy, (or maybe what type of epilepsy would be a better question) would diving become dangerous? I have already stressed to him that epilepsy in any form could be dangerous, but this (no matter how strongly I recommended against it) did not answer his question. He has informed me that IF she is seizure free for four months, she is allowed to have a driver license, and with her type of epilepsy, she knows before the on set of an attack. Yes I explained that even if she knows when the attack is coming, diving magnifies everything 10 fold, and if she is doing a deeper type diving there are other consideration on the accent (Bottom time in general, DECO stops, accent rate, etc.), besides just pulling the car over until the attack is complete. After a 45min conversation, I feel I have still not answer his question to his satisfaction. So I guess the question is as it stands...
