First off - I know nothing about Asthma. This said, I have 2 friends who suffer from Asthma. One has been diving successfully for years with no problems. The other, also a diver, was recently diagnosed with Asthma and told he should not dive.

Now I was wondering: Would a CCR be a better option for an Asthmatic than OC? Again, I know nothing about Asthma but have noticed that diving with a CCR the air remains warmer and does not dry out as much as OC. Would this be a benefit to an Asthmatic?

Cheers
Mike
