Recreational scuba diving requires good physical and mental health. There are a few medical conditions which can be hazardous while diving, listed below.

The purpose of this medical questionnaire is to find out if you should be examined by your doctor before participating in recreational diver training.

For your safety, and that of others who may dive with you, answer all questions honestly, on your past or present medical history with a YES or NO. If you are not sure, answer YES.

This form is principally designed as an initial medical screen for new divers, but is also appropriate for divers taking continuing education.
