Diving and ITP? was created by Lman

Hi
I've recently started recreational diving. I currently use the 1m height springboard, but I plan to attend a few lessons. After many jumps from the 1m board today I had a little painful landing with head in the water and had a little abrasion on my head due to water impact. Has anybody had any experience with it? How about the 3m springboard?

Maybe you should ask your hematologist about this - then you can be comfortable if he/she says hey, diving is ok.

Ok, he suggested diving is safe in general, but If one enters the water incorrectly there's a risk of bleeding due to water impact. He suggested learning 1m dive first. I guess I'll do that occasionally for a while
