The operator's own notes, grouped by topic. Nothing here is added by Guidekin.

Walking and health

  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • Non-certified divers (students & Discover Scuba Diving participants) will be required to complete a standard Diver Medical Questionnaire and are also advised to review ahead of time for any health conditions that may require a doctor's written pre-approval. If you are flagged to require a doctor approval when you do your DSD prep or waivers, you must have the form signed by a doctor and to us before your dive. Those who do not provide a doctor approval will be able to snorkel only.
  • IMPORTANT: Please note that as per the health questionnaire that will be part of your waiver,you will need a signed form from your doctor if any of the below are true. This does not necessarily mean you cannot dive. You will just need to get approval from your doctor to show us. Those whose answers are flagged for doctor approval but do not provide the approval ahead of time will be able to snorkel, but not dive.
  • -------if you have asthma, severe allergies, trouble breathing, or angina or other heart issues, you will need to provide doctor approval.
