Someone that had a deep-vein thrombosis and a small Pulmonay Embolism 3 months ago, could make Scuba Dive ?

Hello!

I had strog stroke in my knee in the begining of October and it caused an deep-vein thrombosis in it. 2 months later it evolved to a very small Pulmonay Embolism.
Now, I'm taking a droug called sodic varfarin to make my blook thinner, but i wont take it forever.. (probably only 6 months).

In MArch, I will go to Hawaii, and I would like A LOT to make some scuba diving and some free dive.

Do you think it could be a risk to my Life ? and... if it is.. do you think that if I make only free dive (without any breathing equipament) I would be in risk also ?

thanks a lot !

Of course i've spoken to a doctor...

I have a doctor that is with me during this hole time...

He says NO to dive.

I'm just getting some other opinions and information, but of course i WILL follow his advice

I know you would like A LOT to dive, but I would strongly discourage it. Talk to your Dr. He might say 'would you like to die'.
