Rescue Diver, Master Scuba Diver and Specialty Diver courses, use the Continuing Education Administrative Document, which includes all three forms listed above, and applies to multiple continuing education courses taken within 12 months. 3. Have parent/guardian and child sign required forms for those under 18 years old. Exception: If local law defines “legal age” as an age older than 18, parent/ guradian signs required forms up to that age.
Diving Fitness 1. A “yes” response on the PADI Medical Statement’s
“Divers Medical Questionnaire” section requires written clearance to dive from a physician as a prerequisite to inwater activities. Exception: Medical requirements may vary from country to country, consult your PADI Office.
2. The physician signing the medical clearance
cannot be the student. 3. Have a student diver who becomes ill or injured during a PADI course complete a new PADI Medical Statement before further inwater activities. Use the medical form screen to determine if the changed medical condition would cause the diver to check off something new on the form. If so, the diver must be cleared for diving by a physician prior to resuming inwater training.
