Requirements

Certification

  • Open Water certification. Bring your card and logbook.

Medical

  • Complete the medical questionnaire. A “yes” to any question means you need a doctor’s certificate before diving.

Dive training starts with the standard recreational diver medical questionnaire, the same wherever you train. What it involves, and when you need a doctor. Each trip operator’s own medical and waiver requirements are emailed with your booking confirmation.
