Is It Safe For A Person Having Nose Bleed During Winter To Go For Scuba Diving?

Hello, we live in Minneapolis winters are long and dry. My daughter has gotten nose bleeds for years. mostly in the winters, I m sure due to the dryness. She is 16 and going on a trip and will be doing some scuba diving. Should there be a concern with her getting a nose bleed while diving.??
