Medical Requirements

To enroll in any of our PADI dive courses you need to be medically fit and healthy. You will have to fill out a questionnaire about your medical history at the beginning of each PADI dive course. If you answer any of the questions on the medical form with YES, you will have to get a medical clearance from a doctor prior to any inwater training. If you are unsure about whether you have a medical condition that is incompatible with scuba diving, you can view and download the full RSTC Medical Questionnaire here.
