Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive, contact the experts at Divers Alert Network (DAN).
