Altitude & Depth
If you are planning on travelling to regions with high altitude your doctor may
wish to adjust your medication. Blood Pressure tends to increase at higher altitudes as they force
the heart to work harder. So please consult your doctor and make sure he is informed of your travel
plans and deems them to be safe for your situation.
If you are contemplating diving it is essential that you have a thorough check up
with your GP.
When signing up for a diving course you will most likely be asked to complete a medical form confirming
any pre existing conditions. When answering "yes" you will be required to visit your GP and complete a
PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) medical statement. This will confirm if you are fit
to dive.
Make sure you take out adequate travel insurance to cover your condition. Please
