My neurologist told me today that medically if I can drive I can dive. In Oregon I can legally drive after 3 months of no seizures (it has been over 1 week and counting!!). He said that he did not know of any connections between apnea with an increase in seizures. My doctor did express a personal reservation about me doing anything that would risk my life though. I figure driving a car with a past history of seizures is about as risky as diving with a past history of seizures.
I think I will have to come up with a stricter set of diving rules for myself than the average freediver (2 buddies not just one), but feel that I will be as safe as the next freediver.
