If I have asthma, diabetes
or another medical condition, does this
prevent me from Scuba Diving?
There is a standard medical form to complete
as part of every PADI course or experience.
Click here to view. You will need to read
the section marked "Medical Questionnaire" following
the guidelines in this section, and answer "Yes" or "No" to
the questions laid out. If you answer "Yes" to
any of the questions in this section, it
does not necessarily prevent you from diving
but instead please give us a call on 08700
502 254 or email us at medical@2dive4.co.uk for further advice as you will need a covering
letter from your doctor.
