The victim's father, Walter Fadrowski, said the his son was a wonderful man who was completely devoted to his familty. "He was one of the greatest guys I knew," Walter Fadrowski said. Scuba diving and heart disease It is not clear to what extent stress factors unique to the use of underwater life support equipment (SCUBA) affect pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease and obesity. Cyber Diver recommends that all certified and uncertified divers including tourists involved in "Discover Scuba" resort courses pass a physical examination within six months of diving. Divers over 50 should successfully pass a cardicac stress test on a treadmill within three months of participation in scuba diving activities. People who have been diagnosed with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease and obesity are advised not to participate in scuba diving activities. |
