I too have broken my collar bone and am still diving. The clavicle heals quite well, he should have no problem diving or hunting after sufficient time. This hunting season may be out, but diving shouldn't be. If he is still having problems with it, he can do the course without having to carry around equipment. Underwater there is no stress on the joint because things are relatively weightless underwater, hence the fun part of diving....being weightless!!! If you have any other questions about diving with an injury, just send me a message. I am a certified RT (radiological tech.).
