Scuba diving can be physically demanding. You should be in good general health and comfortable with normal physical activity before taking part.
Medical screening
Before diving, you may be asked to complete a diver medical questionnaire. If your answers indicate that medical clearance is required, you will need approval from a doctor before you can dive.
If you have a medical condition, take prescription medication or are unsure whether something could affect your diving, contact us before booking so we can explain what documentation may be required.
Do not dive if you are unwell
Do not dive if you have a cold, significant congestion or an ear infection, or if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are unsure about your health or fitness to dive, speak to an appropriate medical professional before participating.
Shore entries and mobility
Most of our local diving for certified divers is shore based. Some dive sites can involve walking around 50 metres from the vehicle to the water over uneven or rocky ground.
Green Bay offers an easier entry and exit and may be more suitable when mobility is limited. If access is a concern, contact us before booking. We can show you photos or videos of the entry and help choose a suitable site.
Glasses and contact lenses
Normal spectacles cannot be worn underneath a standard dive mask. Contact lenses can usually be worn while diving, or you may prefer to use a prescription mask.
If you are unsure
