Do I Need a Medical to Dive?

A medical to dive is required for all divers with any pre-existing medical conditions, which might be contradictions to diving safely

When you arrive here before you start your training we will ask to fill out the Medical Statement either physically or via our online medical declaration. This will then be assessed to see if a doctor’s approval is required for diving. For your diving professional programs, we require a medical form signed and stamped by a licensed doctor.

We recommend that you print off and get the medical to dive evaluation done and a couple of copies signed by your family doctor before coming to Kenya. The Medical Statement applies to every course and can be downloaded here. Genuine medical statements, not copies have to be submitted to PADI for the IE and Instructor Application.
