Medicals
Your continued health and well being are your most valuable assets. To ensure that you are in a fit and healthy state to undertake scuba diving, a diving medical must be obtained from a qualified diving doctor. We strongly recommend that you attend one of the specialist diving medical centers unless you local Doctor is fully conversant with the provisions of the standards and practices involved in diving. Your medical examination through a specialist centre will be conducted in accordance with Australian Standard 4005.1-2000 and will ensure, amongst other things, that you are able to adequately compensate your ears for changes in pressure. This is a vital function, which must be confirmed before commencing a scuba course.
