Toby and Netters,
I am a scuba diver and have dove with pregnant women, but never lactating
ones. I do know that as long as there are no air spaces in the breasts,
there will be equal air pressure all around, therefore no problems as she
descends down. Maybe normal leakage, but that would be it. Hopefully, it
does not attract the sharks.
