The underwater world is breathtaking, but you must know your health and fitness before diving in. Fitness-to-dive medical assessments ensure you are ready to enjoy this thrilling activity safely.
Dive medical assessments guarantee safety and regulate risk for prospective scuba divers. These assessments evaluate a diver’s physical and psychological capabilities, ensuring they meet the Australian Standards AS 4005.1 criteria for recreational divers.
We, as medical practitioners, ascertain a diver’s fitness to identify and tackle potential health issues such as:
  • Cardiovascular conditions
  • Respiratory conditions
  • Gastrointestinal conditions
  • Psychiatric conditions
  • Central nervous system conditions
This allows divers to enjoy the underwater world with confidence and peace of mind.
