Hello All, I' am new here just foud site and tring to find answers. I have been an sports scuba diver over 20 years, Now since many bad habits has caught up with me I need to have upper denturs to start. Can anyone tell me if this will effect my sport ?? Thanks
 
No- you will be able to dive ok. So long as you can get a good seal on the mouthpiece- no reason why it would be a problem.
