Résumé
Scuba diving has long been strictly contraindicated for asthmatics; this contraindication has been questioned in recent years. Our objective was to provide a website, evaluated by its users, for doctors, diving instructors and asthmatics. Creation of the site Asthme-Plongee.com based on a peer-reviewed literature review, then distribution of a questionnaire in summer 2018 to diving clubs, general practitioner groups, pulmonologists and FFESSM federal offices, and via social networks. Our sample consisted of 413 assessors, including 264 health professionals (63.9%), 74 asthmatics (17.9%) and 92 diving instructors (22.3%), spread over the entire territory of France. The structure of the website, the clarity of the information written and its relevance were generally appreciated by the entire population with a median score of 8/10. The site was found useful: 72.9% of respondents thought they would visit it later. Faced with a growing number of amateur divers, it seems essential to raise awareness of current recommendations and good diving practices.
