Sub-aqua diving is a sport that requires general physical fitness and good health. Anyone with a medical history of diabetes, blackouts, epilepsy, perforated eardrums, high blood pressure or heart disease, any lung or respiratory disorder( such as Asthma), serious ear or sinus problems or dependence on drugs, may not be able to dive safely and so MUST seek specialist advice before contemplating taking up this sport including a Try Dive
Try Dives are available on the understanding that the person taking part:
- Considers themselves medically fit and does not suffer from any of the disqualifying conditions mentioned above
- If medically unfit, has obtained approval to dive from a medical referee, such as provided by ukdmc.org
- Will, in the interests of safety, comply with all instruction given to them by the instructor
- Is able to swim a minimum of 8 x 25mt lengths and is confident in water.
There is no upper age limit as long as you are medically fit. Minors aged 14 – 18 may also take part in a try dive with us but they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who needs to sign the club’s Try Dive Form on their behalf. The club complies with British Sub Aqua Club Safeguarding Policies with regard to all try dives carried out with minors.
