    It will most likely be months before you can scuba dive. Remember, you are carrying a lot of weight in tanks and lead. Your knee will need to support that weight. Have you talked to your doctor about how long your rehab is going to be? I had a friend who torn his ACL and was not allowed to dive for 8 months. You can also look on the Diver's Alert Network (DAN). They specialize in diving medicine. Good luck.
