Important Medical Information

For your safety and to avoid delays in your course:

Download and Print the Diver Medical Form
 Carefully read the form and answer the Medical History Questions honestly.​

If you can answer "Yes" to question 3, 5, or 10, OR any question on page 2, then written clearance to dive, without restrictions, from a physician is required prior to any in-water activities. Immediately do the following:​

• Take or send all 3 pages of the form to your physician (MD or DO).

• Ask your physician to complete the PHYSICIAN section on Page 3 of the form and return the form to you.
  Student Divers who are professional physicians may not sign for approval on their own medical form.

• Make a copy of the completed form and put it in a safe place. You may need it in the future.

• Bring the completed original form to your first course session. 

Give your completed Diver Medical Form to your instructor at your first course session. Otherwise, your training will be delayed.​

For questions regarding your fitness to scuba dive, please speak with your physician. You and/or your physician can also speak with Diving Medicine Specialists at Divers Alert Network at no charge. Contact the Divers Alert Network (DAN) non-emergency medical information line at 919-684-2948 (Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm CT). Referrals to local diving and hyperbaric medicine specialists are available.

If you have a copy of this form signed by a physician within 12 months prior to the expected completion date of your course, and your medical history has not changed, then you may provide a copy of it to your instructor. Otherwise, you will need to complete a new form.
