DIVING  MEDICAL

 
WHAT  IS  INVOLVED?

The basic consultation and examination only require one visit which lasts thirty minutes. The diving medical focuses on the standard diving medical application form, which the patient has to bring to the consultation with his/her log-book.
 
The important issues are the patient’s medical history, family history and current medications while the examination includes an assessment of the blood pressure, pulse, heart, lungs, body mass index, urine analysis and general health status of the individual. Occasionally a chest xray and/or an ECG (electrocardiograph) will be mandatory.

The ECG will be performed in our clinic, by our nurse. The chest xray will be taken in one of our local radiology departments, arranged by our doctor. Subsequently the completed form will be signed and stamped by our doctor, detailing your medical fitness to dive.
