The IMCA International Code of Practice for Offshore Diving requires divers to have a valid certificate of medical fitness to dive issued by a suitable doctor. An annual medical is also required.
Fitness to dive, specifically the medical fitness to dive, is the medical and physical suitability of a diver to function safely in the underwater environment using underwater diving equipment and procedures. The importance of a full medical being carried out by a doctor who is not only fully qualified as a medical practitioner, but who also has a sound knowledge of diving medicine, hyperbaric physiology and of the scope, nature and organisation of commercial offshore diving work cannot be understated.
We at Oxycure offer comprehensive diver medicals by DMAC accredited diving physician.
