Will taking seroquel and wellbutrin XR keep me from becoming a pro scuba or commercial diver?
Will the meds affect me differently at depth? Wellbutrin is a time release medication. Who would know about this?
In a word, yes (sorry). For further information, see below.
I just looked up both drugs on Wikipedia, and the potential side effects alone would likely be enough to disqualify diving while using them. Any sedative drug is generally contraindicated for use while diving, since the sedative effect will likely be (synergistically) exacerbated by the narcotic effect of high-pressure nitrogen in the breathing gas, leading to a (greatly) increased risk of physical/mental impairment (and hence accident) underwater.
However, there is another, more important issue here; not the drugs themselves, but the reason for their prescription. Although (Wikipedia suggested that) doctors have prescribed seroquel to treat conditions other than its intended purpose, both drugs appear to be psychoactives, primarily prescribed to treat various psychological disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc.)
Since diving occurs in an alien environment, where the diver's (and their buddy's) life and health depends on (1) correct use of life-support equipment and (2) remaining cool, calm and collected at all times, pre-existing psychological problems are generally considered an absolute contraindication to diving (several physical conditions are also considered contraindicative, e.g. asthma, diabetes, pregancy...). This may seem unfair, but there are good safety reasons.
I (and probably every instructor you might consult) have seen fully compos mentis adults suffer major panic attacks underwater. The risk of panic for an individual with a pschological disorder is likely several orders of magnitude higher, since they are 'closer to the edge' to begin with. Of course, I do not know why you personally have been prescribed these medications, but until (your doctor says that) you no longer need to take them, you are unlikely to be accepted onto even a beginner sport-diving course, let alone a commercial diver training course, without (at least) a certificate of medical fitness signed by a qualified physician.
I would recommend you seek out a doctor specialising in hyperbaric medicine for specific medical advice regarding your personal fitness to dive.
The Canary Islands are a massively popular network of islands located off the coast of North Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, their location alone means that the popular islands Britons visit each year such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote enjoy year-round sun. Being islands they have plenty of coastline and perfect sandy beaches to laze on, but for many tourists they don't want to spend their entire holiday soaking up the sun.
This is why many families will hire a car and venture out to see other parts of the island, quite often a water park or a little known quiet port town. Others may look to the sea for more entertainment with many favourites such as jet ski or pedalo hire, but for those holidaying on the island of Lanzarote they are in for a real treat; scuba diving.
Lanzarote is a scuba divers paradise with the volcanic island providing interesting environments and wildlife that set it apart from other diving locations. On the south and east coasts there are many locations that divers flock to, there are over 500 species of fish that call Lanzarote home including: Barracudas, Angel Sharks and sea horses.
With the islands being created as a result of volcanic activity the seas around Lanzarote are home to many impressive lava reefs, as well as this many Spanish and Portuguese shipwrecks from the 14th century provide habitats for the sea life as well as interesting places to dive at.
Scuba diving on Lanzarote is certainly not just for the seasoned pro, there are many diving centres where you can learn or brush up on your diving, for those who may not like the idea of scuba diving with a tank there is still plenty to be seen when snorkelling from the surface.
This activity can introduce you to a rewarding pastime as there are many other famous diving locations people have visited such as a Sharm-El-Sheikh for instance, in many cases if you were to get qualified as a scuba diver then potentially wherever there is a diving centre on your next holiday you'll be able to hire equipment and go.
Lanzarote isn't the only diving hotspot; Pechiguera has the nickname "The Grand Canyon of the sea" which is home to many of the 500 species of sea life in the seas around the Canaries. If the idea of seeing various sea life is something that interests you but you would rather see them from the safety of dry land then there is still an aquarium on the island at Costa Teguise Los Zocos and Apartments Lanzarote Gardens. Some of the aquariums allow you to actually touch the creatures.
So if you are looking for something new and interesting to do on your next beach holiday then give scuba diving a try and discover the depths around Lanzarote or any of the other Canary Islands.
