RSTC MEDICAL STATEMENT

Prior to commencing any diving program which involves in-water training you must complete a medical statement. 

The purpose of this Medical Questionnaire is to find out if you should be examined by your doctor before participating in recreational diver training. A positive response to a question does not necessarily disqualify you from diving. A positive response means that there is a pre-existing condition that may affect your safety while diving and you must seek the advice of your physician prior to engaging in dive activities.

 

There are a number of questions relating to your past or present medical history which you will need to answer with  either  a YES or NO. If you are not sure, answer YES. If any of these items apply to you, we must request that you consult with a physician prior to participating in scuba diving. A copy of the Diver Medical Questionnaire can be downloaded below for you to take to your physician.

If you are unable to obtain medical clearance through your own GP/Consultant, we can put you in contact with a local diving physician that is able to conduct either telephone consultations or face to face appointments depending on the circumstances.

Unfortunately as we are not medical professionals we are unable to give any advice on any medical conditions. 

If you answer 'NO' to all the questions on the medical questionnaire, there will be no need for you to seek approval from a physician.

If you have any questions about the medical statement please check the 'FAQ's' section at the bottom of this page, alternatively please get in touch.

Medical questionnaire checklist:
