Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.
Avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course. Instructors, divemasters and dive shop staff are not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.
If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive, contact the experts at Divers Alert Network (DAN).
Minimum Age: 18
Course prerequisites: PADI Public Safety Diver (or qualifying certification)
Advanced Public Safety Diver training requires both knowledge development and inwater practice. The total course cost depends on class size, training location, environment and whether or not you need to rent equipment.
In addition to basic scuba gear, you will need two scuba cylinders, two different cutting devices, visual and audible surface signaling devices and a rescue breathing mask. You may also need a dry suit and full face mask. Investing in your own scuba equipment for the course will help you become comfortable with how it works and the best way to maintain it.
Contact a PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information and pricing. Use the filter tool to search for dive centers that offer public safety dive training.
Seek out additional public safety diver training and consider becoming an Emergency First Response® Instructor so that you can offer CPR and first aid training to team members.
Completing the PADI Dry Suit Diver and Full Face Mask Diver courses may help you better prepare for working as a public safety diver. Every PADI Specialty you earn gets you one step closer to becoming a PADI Master Scuba Diver™. Only 2 percent of divers ever achieve this elite rating.
