PADI Medicals for Scuba Diving

The general rule is that PADI requires all recreational divers to self-assess using the PADI medical questionnaire.

PADI Medical exam

If your self-assessment reveals the need for a medical examination, you will need to take your PADI medical statement to a doctor and obtain a certificate of fitness to dive.

PADI professionals

At a professional level, when preparing for a PADI Divemaster or Instructor course, all candidates must be examined and provide a medical certificate.
