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).

There is an additional cost to complete your certification with a PADI Instructor. The cost depends on class size, environment, and whether or not you need to rent equipment. Contact a PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information and pricing.
In addition to basic scuba equipment, you will also need a dive computer. A dive light and slate are recommended. Ask your PADI Instructor what you need to provide for the course.

If you plan to be somewhere without internet access, use the PADI Training app to download course content and study offline. Content can be downloaded in small sections with a total file size of approximately 189 MB. When you get back online, upload your progress so you can resume your training right where you left off.
The PADI Training app is available for Android™ and Apple® iOS devices. For the ideal experience, devices should be no more than three models old and running with the most current OS (operating system).
If you're interested in exploring beyond recreational limits, ask your instructor about technical diving. "Tec" diving attracts experienced divers who enjoy a challenge, like dive equipment and want to go places other divers cannot.
Technical divers explore reefs and wrecks at depths well below the 40 metre/130-foot recreational limit. With specialized training, they can explore underwater caves and other places well beyond the reach of mainstream sport diving.
