If you have not done already, you may like to see the answer @ scuba-doc.com/antcoag.htm hope it helps. However, I would carry out a risk assessment on your health to ensure that your PT/INR is within your theraputic time range. I would strongly recommend as part of your risk assessment to be able to self-test your PT/INR every time you dive to ensure you are within your therapeutic time range.
you might also want to see the story in the most recent INReview magazine from a lady who has been diving with whale sharks.
