I wouldn't dive. You're not supposed to dive when you're congested with a cold, let alone with your bone injuries. I may dive in one specific circumstance - diving in snorkelling depths to enable you to stay down without always coming up to breathe. And provided you're an experienced swimmer/snorkeller. But not more than 10', say. Even 6'+ you will notice a pressure difference in your ears and as your mask presses more tightly. Also, if you're a 1st time SCUBA diver, it's easy to drift deeper and deeper without noticing it if you don't check your depth gauge regularly. One other thing to think of - if you take a course it will usually be part of a group. If I were in the group and were forced to compromise on dive depths to accommodate you, I'd be pretty ****ed off.
I've got advanced open water PADI certs.
