Diving is a serious sport which involves abdominal and thoracic muscles and lungs exclusively. Individuals struggling with pneumothorax must avoid diving at all costs. Since the lungs are compromised therefore diving would stress them which might prove quite distressing for the health. A patient must undergo bilateral surgical pleurectomy, has normal lung function and CT chest scan before deciding to dive.
