hi, recently i was playing basketball and unfortunately had an accident and tore major ligaments on my knee ,the ACL and probably MCL as well. but i'm not too keen on going under the knife, does anyone know if this will affect my diving.

thanks
 
short answer: YES

Longer answer: the MCL & ACL are very important ligaments. GET THEM FIXED. having them partially or fully ruptured will effect everything you do with that leg.

(have spent a year and half getting my ACL, PCL, and LCL put back together)
