Diver Medical Questionnaire

Dive safely and answer honestly
Complete the form before diving
This questionnaire helps determine whether you need an evaluation and approval from a physician before recreational scuba diving or freediving.
How to complete the questionnaire
- Download and open the complete three-page PDF.
- Read every question carefully and answer honestly.
- Sign and date the participant statement where indicated.
- If the form directs you to obtain medical clearance, take all three pages to a physician.
- Bring the completed form and any required physician approval for your dive activity.
When is a physician's approval required?
If you answer NO to all 10 questions on page 1, the form states that a medical evaluation is not required; you still need to sign and date the participant statement.
If you answer YES to questions 3, 5 or 10 on page 1, or YES to any question on page 2, the form requires a medical evaluation and physician's approval before participating in a diving course.
Important safety notes
- If you are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant, do not dive.
- If you feel ill or believe you may have a contagious disease, do not participate in diving activities.
- If you have concerns about your fitness to dive that are not covered by the form, consult a physician before diving.
- A parent or guardian must sign for a minor participant.
- Ultra Marine Divers may request medical clearance whenever a health or safety concern requires it.
