compatibility with diving?  In one month I will be making a trip to South
America and Central America for a one month stay.  I have been debating on
taking Malaria prevention drugs while there however, I also plan to do several
dives off the Bay Islands.  I am avid about not taking any medicines prior to
diving and am a bit concerned about the side affects of the various Malaria
prevention drugs impairing my diving and/or causing several dive related
medical conditions.  Does anyone have any insight on this?  Please let me
know...  I would much rather take the Malaria prevention drugs than possibly
risk getting Malaria, but I need to know the pros and cons of this in relation
to diving.
