Medical certificate

Some people who begin the dive wonder why I have to perform a medical examination?

This certificate gives us the peace of mind that our body is prepared for its efforts under the media hyperbaric, as is the diving.

The current legislation states the following:

Article 25.- Of the medical examinations of persons who are subjected to an environment hyperbaric:

As we have seen above, the current legislation requires us to be performed by a physician specializing in medicine underwater-hyperbaric, with a degree or diploma issued by an official body. Therefore it is not valid to a survey carried out by any doctor, as the attending physician. In addition to the specific training, so much the better if it is a diver.

Medical certificate necessary according to the current legal regulations in terms of safety standards for the practice of underwater activities, which have been collected in the Ministerial Order of the 14/10/1997 (Ministry of Development), published in the BOE of 22.11.1997, no. 280:

1.

Any person who is subject to an environment hyperbaric, you must make a prior medical examination specialist.

2.

This exam or subsequent examinations should be performed by doctors who hold title, specialty, a diploma or certificate, related to underwater activities, issued by an official body.

3.

The periodical check-ups will be required for access to any degree or certificate that will enable to undergo through hyperbaric, apart from the initial examination (this should be included in an official medical certificate).

4.

Will be repeated annually in the case of divers, and professional divers. This recognition should be included in your book of underwater activities.initial n (this should be included in an official medical certificate).

5.

Sand repeated every two years in the case of divers, sports-recreational. This recognition should be included in your book of underwater activities.

Although it came into force in 1997, the people have not taken into account. Currently, the guardia civil has begun to call for divers, a part of the title and diving insurance in force, and also the medical certificate.

The main interested in having this certificate, it is the diver, as to submit to such examination will be well aware that your body is in a position to practice diving. It also gives us the confidence that our partners do not have any medical problem that can give us a good scare, under the water.

Another very important question is Who can get a medical examination for diving?

For the realization of the certificate you just need to buy the official printed: Medical Certificate, which is acquired in pharmacies and its price is about 3,50€ aprox. This certificate is to be completed by the doctor.

In Scuba Elx, we have the great luck of having a great doctor, specialist in hyperbaric medicine and also scuba diver: Manuel Falzoi, which you can consult all of your doubts and you can perform the medical examination at our dive center in Santa Pola (Alicante).
