Physical

For safety reasons, students must complete a medical questionnaire in class that asks about medical conditions that might affect your ability to dive. If the conditions stated do not apply than you can sign the form and start the course. If you are not sure about any of the conditions stated, seek medical advice and obtain a physical.
