awww
you don't think that 
and breathing exercises would be of any help? Ever tried?It's amazing... even though I do not advertise scuba diving anymore due to the damage done to the reef and scaring off the fish by reckless dive-centre competition
I hold little knowledge as a "rescue diver" and we could stay well within 5-10 metres (you can get up any time you like - no safety stop)... it already makes a huge difference to the fishy fish and they often come to play with you...

Personally, I can manage my asthma fine (although I know that I don't, but that's only my own fault, but I know that I can do it) and I would be confident that I could do scuba diving with no problems.
However when I fill out forms to learn, there is always a little box that asks "asthmatic?" and as soon as I tick that little box...I'm out!

Would this

make a difference`? You have no bottles, but a hose connected to the surface. This way you have no nitrogen accumulating too, breathe regular air, no pressure (I guess)
Are you keen on scuba? I mean where's a will... but sure, scuba's one of the most dangerous recreational sports around. So don't get too lightheaded. Within 5-7m's though, it should not be too much of a problem...

I have no idea!
I am keen on scuba and there were two opportunities that fell through before I got diagnosed with asthma where i was going to do it! You can imagine how pissed off I am now that I have been diagnosed with asthma!
Personally, I would feel fine doing it. I raced at Nationals undiagnosed, which was a week of racing! Sure, I was in a bad way, but as hard as scuba is (cos i'm not going to pretend it's not!) i doubt it's as taxing as a national championship (given that scuba doesnt require a year of training!)!

Then there might be a chance
Nope, scuba ain't too hard (unfortunately, if viewed from the coral and fish' view), point is that mistakes can be fatal. But if you're staying in easy conditions (out of currents and in good weather, not below 10 m's, with a responsible and experienced guide or master) there is little that can hurt you.Oh man, sometimes I'm just too pragmatic: I would even say that by absolutely being forced to observe your breath closely (which is kind of a Prana Yoga exercise) it might even be beneficial to fight your Asthma... know what I mean?

Yeah, like all those elite swimmers who took up swimming as a kid to manage their breathing for asthma.

yeah, well I'm not too sure about that suspicious white thing on the cat's nether regions...
and for a "Tom cat" it looks suspiciously girly with that ribbon in it's head...
Tom - you need to watch out for Clarence - she's really evil in disguise. Her and that Rouge character - they're in league - the league of evil or-strar-lee-ann sheila's...
If they give you a present, look for the soldiers inside - that beast masquerading as a choc tom cat is probably chock full of Trojan soldiers waiting for the signal to come out and attack.

oooh - Dogmatix! I haven't seen him for ages!!!! He's sooo cool too.
How did you come to take over as his companion?

Oh, so you too are mistaken him. This is not Dogmatix, but his long lost twin. Asterix and Obelix were happening save me from some Roman troops in the Teutoburg Forest on their quest to retrieve Getafix from being held hostage at some Goth leader.
(I almost got hit by a menhir thrown at them and I happened to be the only Goth saved by the two)... This has been left out by Uderzo and he later voiced deep regrets for having portraited all the Goths (Germans) as the only villains apart from Romans.
However to cut another long story short, after that I followed Asterix, Obelix, Getafix and Dogmatix on their way through Lutetia and happened to meet Dogmatixens cousin in another side episode: Woffix (derived from "Wolf"). Since then he is my dear companion.
I really love him

I remember there being some cracking good names in that story! The names are always the best part.
So if you are a Goth why aren't you FireTomic??
