Is it safe to exercise 1-2 hours before diving and how does it harmful ?

Thanks for the question. It depends on the type of exercise, but mild exercise should not be a problem. Weights or exercises that may promote micronuclei prior to diving are not wise. This was found with some of the NASA trials. The conservative answer remains 4 hours pre dive - no exercise.
