Diving Medical Questionnaire

PADI Medical Questionnaire

IMPORTANT : You should read this questionnaire prior to travelling. It is vital to establish if you should be examined by a physician before participating in recreational diving.
Diving is subject to successful completion of an on-board medical questionnaire. Please check when booking or contact us with any questions or concerns.

A positive response to a question does not necessarily disqualify you from diving, but indicates there is a pre-existing condition that may affect your safety while diving and you must seek the advice of a physician

You will be required to complete this medical questionnaire prior to participating in diving on the day.
