Medical Policy

At Pro Dive International, your safety is our highest priority.

Recreational scuba diving requires both good physical and mental health. Certain medical conditions can pose risks while diving; we’ve listed some below. If you have, or may be predisposed to, any of these conditions, it’s important to be evaluated by a physician before diving. The Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire will help determine if you need further medical evaluation. Additionally, if you have any concerns about your fitness to dive that aren’t covered in this form, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician. If you’re feeling unwell or think you may have a contagious illness, it’s crucial for your safety and the well-being of others that you avoid diving until you fully recover.

 

This form is designed primarily as a medical screening for new divers, but it is equally important for all divers joining us. To ensure your safety and that of others, please answer all questions truthfully and accurately. Doing so helps us provide a safe and enjoyable diving experience for everyone.

 

Before participating in any diving activities or courses with us, you must read and complete a medical questionnaire. This will help identify pre-existing conditions that may affect your diving safety.

  • You won’t need a medical evaluation if you answered NO to all ten questions on page 1.
  • If you answered YES to questions 3, 5, or 10 from page 1 OR to any of the questions on page 2, please read and agree to the statement (page 1) by signing and dating it AND take all three pages of this form (Participant Questionnaire and the Physician’s Evaluation Form) to your physician for a medical evaluation. Participation in a diving course requires your physician’s approval. 
Additionally, a written and signed medical clearance from a diving physician is required for the following medical conditions:

– History of heart surgery, heart disease, heart attack, or stroke (CVA)
– History of high blood pressure combined with the use of “Beta-blockers” to manage hypertension
– History of lung surgery, pneumothorax, or collapsed lung
– Asthma, if the client regularly carries an emergency inhaler
– History of epilepsy, seizures, or fainting
– History of diabetes
– History of a diving accident or decompression sickness (DCS)
 

Each condition is potentially life-threatening while scuba diving, so we only accept medical clearance from a certified diving physician.

A medical clearance from a certified general doctor will suffice for any other conditions.

 

Please note that all medical clearances must be dated and stamped within 12 months of the diving activity, as a diver’s medical condition may change over time.

 

These measures ensure your safety and reduce the risk of injury or death while diving. For more information, please feel free to contact us at info@prodiveinternational.com
 

Please note that Pro Dive International reserves the right to refuse a guest’s participation in diving activities based on medical or other safety concerns.
