Can you scuba dive when on your period?

It is generally safe to scuba dive while on your period, as long as you take the appropriate precautions. These include:

* Using a tampon or menstrual cup: This will help to prevent any leakage of blood into the water, which could attract sharks or other marine predators.

* Wearing a rash guard or wetsuit: This will help to protect your skin from the sun and from any potential irritants in the water.

* Staying hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your dive to stay hydrated.

* Avoiding strenuous activity: Avoid any strenuous activity that could cause your period to become heavier or more painful.

* Being aware of your limits: If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop diving immediately and surface slowly.

If you are concerned about scuba diving while on your period, talk to your doctor.
