  • Diver Medical | Participant Questionnaire

  • Recreational scuba diving and freediving requires good physical and mental health. There are some medical conditions which can be hazardous while diving. Those who have, or are predisposed to, any of these conditions, should be evaluated by a physician. This Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire provides a basis to determine if you should seek out that evaluation. If you have any concerns about your diving fitness not represented on this form, consult with your physician before diving. If you are feeling ill, avoid diving. If you think you may have a contagious disease, protect yourself and others by not participating in dive training and/or dive activities. References to "diving" on this form encompass both recreational scuba diving and freediving (breathhold diving). This form is principally designed as an initial medical screen for new divers, but is also appropriate for those considering any diving activity. For your safety, and that of others who may dive with you, answer all questions honestly. Directions: Complete this questionnaire as a prerequisite to a recreational scuba diving or freediving course. If you answer NO to all 10 questions below, a medical evaluation is not required. Please read and agree to the participant statement below by signing and dating it. If you answer YES to questions 3, 5 or 10 below OR to any of the follow-up questions, please read and agree to the statement by signing and dating it AND take all three pages of the Diver Medical form (Participant Questionnaire and the Physician's Evaluation Form) to your physician for a medical evaluation. Medical evaluation is required. Note to women: If you are pregnant, or attempting to become pregnant, do not dive.

I fully understand that these hazards and risks can lead to severe injury and even loss of life.

By executing this Agreement, I agree to hold the Releasees harmless for any injury or loss of life which may occur to me during Snorkeling, Apnea Diving, SCUBA Diving, and First Aid activities and/or instruction, and any and all future courses of instruction, programs and Snorkeling, Apnea Diving, SCUBA Diving, and First Aid related travel I undertake.
  • 3. I fully understand that Snorkeling, Apnea Diving, SCUBA Diving, and First Aid related activities are physically strenuous and I will be exerting myself during this course of instruction.
