I ride and the bike doesn't affect my implant at all. Waited until 8 weeks after surgery to start riding again and early on my balls would get a little sore, but that went away after another month or so.

Blue Cross paid 80% I am going to apply my health care savings account and the hospital gave me 2 years interest-free to make payments on the remainder.

90 ft for "deep dives"? I can't remember open water license limits. Not sure on physical limits with an implant. Interesting question though.

I believe it's 60' for open water. Advanced open water is 130'. Thanks for the info.

You can fly with an implant, too. It is not like clearing your ears when changing altitude or depth. The implant is filled with fluid which is incompressible. If there were substantial air bubbles in there, it would be a different story, but it is all fluid.

Good, no air pocket, no compression/decompression.
