DIVER MEDICAL FORM
You hereby agree to fill out the Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire.
Recreational scuba diving and freediving requires good physical and mental health. There are a few medical conditions which can be hazardous while diving. Those who have, or are predisposed to, any of these conditions, should be evaluated by a physician. A Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire provides a basis to determine if you should seek out that evaluation. If you have any concerns about your diving fitness not represented on this form, consult with your physician before diving. If you are feeling ill, avoid diving. If you think you may have a contagious disease, protect yourself and others by not participating in dive training and/or dive activities. References to “diving” on this form encompass both recreational scuba diving and freediving. This form is principally designed as an initial medical screen for new divers but is also appropriate for divers taking continuing education. For your safety, and that of others who may dive with you, please answer all questions honestly.
You may be required to also complete a valid 4005.1 AS Dive Medical or obtain a doctor’s clearance prior to your dive if you answer “YES” to any of the following questions:
You are taking medication
You are suffering from an injury/illness that affects your ability to dive
These will be required if you have been prescribed a medication or have been diagnosed since your last dive medical.
DIVE EQUIPMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
You allow us to charge your credit card for any lost or damaged equipment.
Tanks being hired are to be checked to ensure they have a fill pressure of at least 200 Bar.

You acknowledge that OZDIVE PTY LTD will not take any responsibility for any damages or loss incurred when washing your gear or unloading your gear from our vessel.
FLYING AFTER DIVING
You will not fly within 24 hours from surfacing after your last dive. You hereby acknowledge your understanding that decompression sickness (DCS) can occur when you fly immediately after scuba diving due to the change in atmospheric pressure.
YOU HAVE NOT DIVED IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS
You will be required to complete either a Scuba Review/Refresher Course or a Reactivate Course before you can participate in any diving activities. We will be able to arrange these courses for you on most days at set times. Please contact us for more information.

You are acknowledging that these dive trips are generally self-guided however a Divemaster will be present, and you understand that our Divemaster will not be present to provide any refresher course / service – they are present to assist in guiding purposes only. You are expected to be a certified, confident diver that is capable to dive and navigate independently with a buddy and follow a briefed dive plan. You are expected to read, understand and agree to the STANDARD SAFE DIVING PRACTICES – STATEMENT OF DIVER UNDERSTANDING which is below.
STANDARD SAFE DIVING PRACTICES – STATEMENT OF DIVER UNDERSTANDING
Please read carefully. Every customer agrees to the provision of the agreement below by default when completing their dive booking online (even without signature).
This is a statement in which you are informed of the established safe diving practices for skin and scuba diving. These practices have been compiled for your review and acknowledgement and are intended to increase your comfort and safety in diving. Your signature on this statement is required as proof that you are aware of these safe diving practices. Read and discuss the statement prior to signing it. If you are a minor, this form must also be signed by a parent or guardian.
I, understand that as a diver I should:
Maintain good mental and physical fitness for diving. Avoid being under the influence of alcohol or dangerous drugs when diving. Keep proficient in diving skills, striving to increase them through continuing education and reviewing them in controlled conditions after a period of diving inactivity, and refer to my course materials to stay current and refresh myself on important information.
Be familiar with my dive sites. If not, obtain a formal diving orientation from a knowledgeable, local source. If diving conditions are worse than those in which I am experienced, postpone diving or select an alternate site with better conditions. Engage only in diving activities consistent with my training and experience. Do not engage in cave or technical diving unless specifically trained to do so.
Use complete, well-maintained, reliable equipment with which I am familiar; and inspect it for correct fit and function prior to each dive. Have a buoyancy control device, low-pressure buoyancy control inflation system, submersible pressure gauge and alternate air source and dive planning/monitoring device (dive computer, RDP/dive tables—whichever you are trained to use) when scuba diving. Deny use of my equipment to uncertified divers.
Listen carefully to dive briefings and directions and respect the advice of those supervising my diving activities. Recognize that additional training is recommended for participation in specialty diving activities, in other geographic areas and after periods of inactivity that exceed six months.
Adhere to the buddy system throughout every dive. Plan dives – including communications, procedures for reuniting in case of separation and emergency procedures – with my buddy.
Be proficient in dive planning (dive computer or dive table use). Make all dives no decompression dives and allow a margin of safety. Have a means to monitor depth and time underwater. Limit maximum depth to my level of training and experience. Ascend at a rate of not more than 18 metres/60 feet per minute. Be a SAFE diver – Slowly Ascend From Every dive. Make a safety stop as an added precaution, usually at 5 metres/15 feet for three minutes or longer.
Maintain proper buoyancy. Adjust weighting at the surface for neutral buoyancy with no air in my buoyancy control device. Maintain neutral buoyancy while underwater. Be buoyant for surface swimming and resting. Have weights clear for easy removal and establish buoyancy when in distress while diving. Carry at least one surface signalling device (such as signal tube, whistle, mirror).
Breathe properly for diving. Never breath-hold or skip-breathe when breathing compressed air and avoid excessive hyperventilation when breath-hold diving. Avoid overexertion while in and underwater and dive within my limitations.
Use a boat, float, or other surface support station, whenever feasible.
Know and obey local dive laws and regulations, including fish and game and dive flag laws.
I understand the importance and purposes of these established practices. I recognize they are for my own safety and well-being, and that failure to adhere to them can place me in jeopardy when diving.

Liability Release and Assumption of Risk Agreement

I understand the Excursion will be conducted at a site that is remote, either by time or distance or both, from a recompression chamber and emergency medical facilities. I still choose to proceed with the Excursion. By signing this Agreement, I certify that I am fully aware of and expressly assume these and all other risks involved in making such a boat trip and scuba dive(s), whether conducted as a certified diver or a student diver in a diving class.
