If there is a dive that you do not wish to do or something else you want to do during a dive, it is up to you to communicate this. Diving is too much fun for you to miss something or to be placed in an uncomfortable position because your dive buddy is a tad too assertive. Several years ago, there was a concern about the potential for gas uptake in breast implants. Researchers at Duke University looked at this in a study and found that while some implants could absorb gas, the exposures required were well outside anything a recreational diver would encounter. There is a large population of active woman divers with implants presently diving with no reported cases of any problems related to breast implants.
Women are different from their male counterparts anatomically, physiologically and psychologically.
These differences result in special concerns that the woman diver needs to consider. A better understanding of these issues will enable them to have a more fun and pleasant underwater experience.
