I am interested in what the docs on SB would say as well as anyone with any experience in diving and having a history of a pneumothorax. I have a potential student who had a traumatic pneumothroax about 5 years ago secondary to an MVC. She is otherwise healthy with no medical problems. She had a chest tube at the time. Once the pneumo healed, the tube was pulled, and she has not had any lung related issues since. She's an OB/GYN doc and has been active and in great shape. Any contraindications to her learning how to dive?
