According to the IMCA International Code of Practice for Offshore Diving, divers require a valid medical fitness certificate from an authorized doctor. An annual medical is also required.

The medical and physical fit of a diver to operate safely in an underwater environment using diving equipment and techniques is known as fitness to dive, or medical fitness to dive. It cannot be overstated how crucial it is that a complete medical be performed by a physician who is not only completely trained to practice medicine but also has a solid understanding of diving medicine, hyperbaric physiology, and the scope, nature, and organization of commercial offshore diving operations.

At Oxycure, our DMAC-accredited diving physicians provide thorough and detailed diver medical examinations.
