If you answer [ Yes ] to one of the above questions, then you must additionally complete theDiver Medical Participant Questionnaire. This is a more thorough medical screening form used to determine if you need to be evaluated by a physician prior to any in-water diving activities. If you answer “Yes” one of the initial 10 questions or “Yes” to one of the follow up questions, you are required to have your physician complete the Physician Evaluation Form prior to any in-water activity. The third page of the form must be signed by a Physician (MD) and NOT a Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, or a Physician’s Assistant.
If you have any questions about your medical, mental or physical fitness to dive, you should also consult a physician to assess your individual risk factors.
