The pupil dilation from scopolamine patch isn't dangerous with healthy eyes. It can, however decrease depth perception (and worse) decrease acuity of up-close vision-- thereby decreasing a diver's ability to focus on gauges or a dive computer.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Hence the advice is to apply it 24 hours before diving. Individuals with narrow-angle glaucoma should also avoid using it. Thank you for your comments. Kind regards, Dr Frans Cronje

Do the recommendations change at all for children?

Thanks for the question. Id depends on the age of the child and the activity planned. We can help with a more tailored response if you can provide more specifics. Our recommendations are based on the assumption that we are dealing with 12-60+-year-old male or non-pregnant female divers. Individuals who fall outside this range may need specific consideration. Kind regards, Dr Frans Cronje

This scopolomine patch can have serious effects on mental health, its not worth the potential problems
