What is a Diving Medical?

A diving medical is an assessment to ensure you are fit to dive safely. It looks at how your lungs, heart, ears, and overall health may respond to pressure changes underwater. This is required for many training courses and recommended for ongoing diving.

You may need a diving medical if you are:

• Starting a recreational diving course

• Completing a commercial or occupational diving certification

• Returning to diving after a medical condition

• Advised to obtain medical clearance based on a dive questionnaire

Your appointment is straightforward and tailored to diving requirements. It may include:

• Medical history and medications review

• Cardiovascular and respiratory assessment

• Ear, nose, and throat examination

• Additional tests such as spirometry, ECG, or audiometry if required
