My problem is a lifetime of endurance training leaves me with a resting pulse around or even below 50 BPM
Not sure if you know this but your lifetime of endurance training increases the risk of atrial fibrillation. It at least doubles the risk and some estimates are higher. If you are a good candidate for ablation you should explore that possibility.

None of these statements are medical advice, consult your Doctor.
 
We have a friend that is a cave diver. He recently had open heart and he is back in the water. His doctor is a diver and cleared him to continue diving. Get a second opinion and ask if that provider is a diver. Talk with DAN as well.
