I'm off to Vanuatu diving next week and I just had a thought: I've
got a ganglion cyst on my right wrist. It's actually pretty big
(seems to have been getting bigger since it was diagnosed a couple
of months ago). Will the pressure at depth affect it? I'm going to
Santo and intend to dive the Coolige so I might be going relatively
deep...

Googling doesn't bring up anything obvious, and I'll ask my doctor
when I go tomorrow but has anyone heard anything about this?

Cheers, Robert.

As it turned out, I went to the coolidge, dived deep and nothing happened :-).
