Do I need to be fit and healthy to learn to dive?
You don't need to be super fit however you will be physically exerting yourself so you do need to be generally physically fit and in good health. There are conditions that will preclude you from participating, such as a history of
respiratory conditions and heart disease or on the day being hangover or having a cold or congestion.
Every diver in Spain must complete the Diver Medical participant form.
If you can answer NO to all the questions on page 1 then you do not need a medical certificate from a doctor to dive.
If you answer YES to any of questions 3, 5 or 10 OR to any of the questions on page 2 in the corresponding section to the YES on page 1, then you will need to be medically
assessed and page 3 signed off by a doctor before you can start your course.
