Default Diving and asthma

I have heard all over the diving world (or should i say 'under') that people suffering with asthma shouldn't dive and that both answers are realy contreversed.What's your opinion?

I would be interested in hearing what someone in the medical field would have to say about this. I also have asthma so I can understand why it would be an issue because the increase in pressure I am sure would cause some issues with me.

Medical findings showed that diving may precipitate asthma attack. Here is an interesting article on discussions on diving with asthma.
