Standard Medical Questionnaire Guidance Notes

The basic medical questionnaire and statement of understanding need to be filled out prior to your pool or open water diving session. We must ask that you pay close attention to the instructions on the form.

Please answer the questions on your past and present medical history with a YES or NO. If you are not sure, answer YES.

On page 1, if you answer No to all of the questions, please sign the bottom of the page and bring it with you on the day of your pool session. If you answer yes to Q3, Q5 or Q10, you will need to take the form to your doctor, if you answer yes to the other questions, you will need to turn to page 2 and read the corresponding boxes for further clarification.

If any of these items on page 2 apply to you, and you have answered YES, we must request that you consult with a physician prior to participating in scuba diving, to get the form signed off. Your instructor will supply you with a PADI Medical Statement and Guidelines for Recreational Scuba Diver’s Physical Examination to take to a physician. If your answers on page 2 are ‘NO’ you do not need to go and get GP sign off, please just sign the front of the form and bring it along with you on the day of your course.

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