Participant questionnaire (confidential)

Diving requires good physical and mental health. There are some medical conditions that can be dangerous during diving, and they are listed below. Those who have or are predisposed to any of these conditions should be evaluated by a doctor. This Diver's Medical Questionnaire provides a basis for determining whether you should seek this evaluation. If you have any concerns about your physical condition for diving and it is not represented in this form, consult your doctor before diving. References to "diving" in this form encompass both recreational diving with autonomous equipment and freediving. This form is primarily designed as an initial medical examination for new divers, but it is also appropriate for divers undergoing continuing education. For your safety and that of others who may dive with you, please answer all questions honestly.

    Instructions

    Complete this questionnaire as a prerequisite for freediving training or diving with autonomous equipment. For women: If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, do not dive.
