It may well be possible to learn to dive even if you previously have had blood clots. Blood clots are a natural process and anyone who has cut themselves will have seen it in action. Internal blood clots are obviously more serious and it will depend on several factors such as why you had blood clots, how long has it been since you have suffered from this condition. You may be prescribed drugs that mean your chances of getting a clot are nearly zero but you need to be sure that in taking that drug hyperbaric activities are still allowed.

Prior dive certification, you are usually required to see a doctor and have various health checks. Your doctor is the only person who will be able to tell you if you are fit to dive. Anyone who says otherwise is not in a position to make a comment because they will not have examined you with diving in mind. If you have a condition you feel might mean you can't dive see your doctor before even starting the pool training.
