What this study found
COVID-19 left lasting questions for divers: lung scarring, cardiac inflammation, impaired gas exchange. When is it safe to go back in the water, and under what conditions? This paper reviews the return-to-dive criteria after SARS-CoV-2 infection, covering both recreational and professional diving alongside hyperbaric oxygen therapy considerations.
