    I suffered an injury a couple of years back to my hearing and am getting conflicting reports back regarding my ability to dive again - are there any qualified doctord who dive on here (hopefully in audiology) who could help out with info?

    Thanks

    Best bet is just to shell out for a hsa diving medical, Commercial divers have to complete one every year, not many doctors in ireland do them though, mike quirke in tipperary and oliver whyte in westport are two off the top of my head that i have been to personally. Phone ahead and explain your case, i imagine they will be able to help you out.
