Medical Requirements

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness.
Chronic health conditions, certain medications, and/or recent surgery may
require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

Avoid disappointment—download and review the Diver
Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval before
enrolling in a scuba course. Instructors, divemasters, and dive shop staff are
not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical
professionals can give medical clearance to dive.

If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive,
contact the experts at Divers Alert Network
(DAN).

After this course

During the Advanced Open Water course, you’ll try different
types of specialty diving and discover your diving aptitude and interests. As
an added bonus, each dive you take can count toward the related specialty
certification.

For example, if you try wreck diving during your Advanced Open Water course and

enjoy it, you can credit that dive toward your Wreck Diver certification.
