Do I need a medical check? 

 

Before diving with Max Divers, every guest must complete a standard scuba diving medical questionnaire. This is an important part of safe diving and helps us identify any health condition that may need further attention before entering the water.

Many guests do not need a separate medical examination. If you answer “No” to all relevant questions on the medical questionnaire, and you are feeling well, you can normally continue with the diving activity or course.

However, if you answer “Yes” to any item on the questionnaire, a doctor’s approval may be required before you can dive. This can include conditions or recent symptoms related to breathing, lungs, heart, ears, sinuses, balance, neurological health, diabetes, recent surgery, certain medications, or mental-health treatment. A “Yes” answer does not automatically mean you cannot dive. It simply means a qualified doctor should assess whether diving is suitable and safe for you.

Please be honest when completing the form. Your health and safety are more important than any dive plan. We can send you the questionnaire in advance so you have enough time to speak with your doctor if needed.

 This protects you, your buddy, and the whole diving team.

At Max Divers, we never treat medical screening as unimportant paperwork. It is part of responsible diving. We want every guest to feel confident, comfortable, and properly prepared before enjoying the underwater world of the Maldives.
