difficult child wants to scuba dive !!! His school is offering this. It will take place at the local health club pool. I try to encourage extra curricular activities, but geez...you are talking about a kid who thinks he is going to die all the time!
The pamphlet explained the ear pressure/ sinus pressure. Slow breathing. Risks involved (including death)
Had to answer about 20 health questions. Such as, afraid of being closed in. no he isn't yet.
Any behavior, mental or psychological problems: YES
panic attacks: YES
Asked if he has any history of ear problems, or sinus surgeries. He does have ear problems, estacian (sp???) tube dsyfunction. He also had tubes when he was a baby. 9 months old. And he has many sinus infections. I don't want to discourage him, but I don't want him to be under water and freak out either.
It said if you answered yes to any of the questions then they would have to have a physician examine him and approve.
We read the pamphlet to him, excluding the death part. He said he understands. It only costs $13 for total cost. Paid that. The first thing he has to do is swim 3 consecutive laps. His swim test is tonight. Then I am sure we will need to go to the doctor to get an "ok".
