I was told not to scuba dive. (As if I could!!!) I don't know what else. Have you checked the website of the company that built the pump you have? I looked at Medtronics website, where there was a lot of information I can't remember. No muscles, no brains, no nothing left.

I asked about scuba diving and was told I'd be fine, have done it since and had no adverse effects.
