Scuba Diving Medical

 Scuba diving Medical

When you are planning on visiting the Great Barrier Reef there are a few things you should know.

A good place to start is completing the scuba diving medical questionnaire.  This questionnaire will let you know straight away if you need to see a dive doctor to be able to participate in scuba diving.

Some medical conditions, age, and medications may prevent you from scuba diving.

Not everyone needs a scuba diving medical.

But if you do need one and don’t have one, it can lead to disappointment on the day.

Being well informed is the best way to ensure that you have the best time on the Great Barrier Reef.
