Unfortunately, some medical conditions may prevent you from diving.
We will ask you to sign a disclaimer and there are some medical conditions that may preclude you from the sport. If you answer “yes” to any of the following, you will need to get authorisation from a diving doctor (not just your GP) before you can undertake diving activities. Contact us for more information.
