Einar,

Just curious ... did you have asthma when you were certified?  You mentioned
that you were an instructor ... what plans do you have if you have students with
you and you run into difficulties?

Sounds creepy (and irresponsible) to me and just another reason why I think that
instructors should be required (but are not) to turn in physicals every year
with their renewals.

Safe diving,

Patrick
