Well, aside from my ideas on using Ibuprofen on compressed air diving (not positive), I think it is quite crazy to use any blood thinner in freediving.

Just think what will happen if you get a squeeze during your dive, especially a lung squeeze.

With that said, just look up what the average diving check up book says about the use of anti-coagulants, and you will see that most of them won't let you dive anyway.

A friend of mine posted article on medical drugs on my site, and although it isn't speficially dealing with anti-coagulants, it might be intresting for some of the readers.

And for those who want to use blood-thinners afterall, I would recommend you to talk to your diving physican.
