Background

Diving can be a fascinating and rewarding pastime.  When diving for sport or recreation, some divers are required to undergo a medical examination and assessment. For example, BSAC and PADI divers who answer ‘YES’ to having any conditions listed on the self-certification forms.

Some dive holiday destinations are in countries that require you to pass a medical before being allowed to dive.

Other divers may not be required to have a medical exam but still want to do so for their own peace of mind.
