A medical will be required for ALL Learn to Dive Courses.

Special note regarding medicals:

All dive medicals from overseas will NOT be accepted unless they state they are to Australian Standard AS4005.1

Generally most students pass the Medical Examination without any difficulty. There are however, some CONTRA -INDICATIONS for scuba diving. If you have ever suffered from any of the following conditions, you are unlikely to pass the medical examination in Australia:

  • PNEUMOTHORAX
  • EPILEPSY
  • HEART SURGERY
  • DIABETES REQUIRING INSULIN
  • ASTHMA
  • Or if you are currently PREGNANT

This medical examination must be conducted along the guidelines of Australian Standard AS4005.1. If you or your doctor require a copy of this standard, please click here.
