- Medical
statement of fitness for diving: For the course we highly recommend a
medical statement of fitness for diving. If there is even the slightest
doubt, we cannot let you into the water. If you have pre-existing
conditions and it can lead to complications from diving, this diving
fitness certificate is mandatory. This includes heart diseases (e.g. heart
disease or high blood pressure), respiratory diseases and injuries (e.g.
asthma, pneumothorax and lung diseases), conditions that can lead to
unconsciousness (e.g. epilepsy and diabetes). Otherwise you will sign a
self-disclosure on spot.
- Diving
Insurance: Please also check with your travel insurance if they cover
diving accidents with decompression treatments. If so, please bring proof
of coverage with you. Otherwise you can book easily an insurance on spot
(38 USD for 1 week). Diving insurance is mandatory.
