Fitness & Health

Anyone with an average level of fitness and health can enjoy scuba diving.

However, some heart, breathing and lung problems (such as asthma) could rule out your participation.

Before enrolling onto a PADI training course you would need to complete the PADI Medical Questionnaire and answer 'YES' or 'NO' to each question.
