PADI medical statement (German) 37.22 Kb

Please make sure you bring an up-to-date copy (fewer than six months) of this statement with you. Even though you will already be a qualified diver of PADI or another dive organisation, you still need to complete the PADI medical statement and bring it with you. Please note that under certain circumstances (explained on the medical statement), you need to see a doctor before the medical statement is complete, so give yourself enough time to do this.
