Recreational Diver Training

Medical History Form

The purpose of this medical questionnaire is to find out if you should be examined by your doctor before participating in recreational diver training. A positive response to a question does not necessarily disqualify you from diving. A positive response means that there is a pre existing condition that may affect your safety while diving and you must seek the advice of your physician.

Please answer the following questions on your past or present medical history with a check mark. If you are not sure, check it. If any of these items apply to you, you must have written approval from a physician prior to participating in scuba diving training.

Note: This is not an electronic form. Feel free to print this form for your own use. A printed copy of this form may be used for the physician's review and approval if required.
