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.
