There's nothing in the new joint that will get in the way of diving. The question will be the length of time required by your body to complete the post operative healing process. For that, even your Doc won't be able to say 100% until after you've had the procedure. When he gets a good idea on your pace of recovery, they ought to be able to better let you know when you can get back into diving.
Treat diving as a strenuous activity.
