My doctor has suggestedHRT but I cant seem to find any info as to whetherthere are any contra indications on taking these. Also when I dive with an outfit do I have to admit to these?

I think you're going to need to talk with a diving medical referee (Dr Margaret Clamp is the woman I'd see about this).

Also you need to declare that you are taking medication (but not necessarily what it's for I think...) with any group you are diving with as this info would be needed to be passed to medics in the event of a diving incident.

See Dr Clamp - she'll let you know more.
