Hello I was born with my right ear with microtia and my left ear is ok can I go scuba diving? I also have allergic rhinitis and sinusitis if I m exposed to the right allergens so I get my nose clogged if I inhale those allergens. But can I go scuba diving if I don t have sinusitis and rhinitis w/o any problems to my ears?
