It is mandatory to complete a PADI medical disclaimer prior to the dive. This is a basic health questionnaire. If the diver answers ‘YES’ to any of the questions on the form , please contact us as the diver will require an additional form to be signed by their GP prior to commencing the dive. Please note – doctors may charge fees for this service.
If this is a surprise gift, please be aware that if the diver answers ‘YES’ to one or more of the questions on the PADI medical form, their dive must be authorised by their GP or Diving GP depending on the nature of the problem, please contact us for advice. Without medical authorisation the dive will not go ahead.
Deep Sea World Dive Instructors reserve the right to refuse the medical note, if they feel the diver is unsuitable to participate and could possibly jeopardise the Health and Safety of themselves and other participants.
All dive experiences are non-refundable, unless the diver is medically unfit to participate. In this case we will require a medical exemption form to be signed off by a GP. Upon receipt of medical exemption, Deep Sea World will issue a refund in the form of a cheque. All refunds are minus a £25 administration fee.
