Medical Screening (Recreational & Commercial Diving)

We provide medical screening to ensure that you are able to take the diving environment.

A proper medical screening is important not only because is it required by many dive companies, when you dive you are also subjected to a demanding and unique environment.

A proper diving medical screening is more than
having a doctor endorse your medical checklist.
A dive medical can:

  • Ensure that you are able to dive enjoyably and safely with a peace of mind that you can take the pressure of an underwater environment

  • Help to ensure that special attention is being paid to you by the dive instructor in certain cases

  • Reduce the liability of the instructor as they are ultimately responsible for your safety

  • Provide valuable advice on your fitness to dive, how long, how deep, how much, if you have past or current diseases or is on any medication

What is involved in screening?

  • Certification and sign off on the dive medical clearance form
  • Dive screening
  • Lung function test
  • Hypersensitivity testing (when required)
  • Pressurization test / dive simulation (optional)

Other medical investigation can also be done in the same place when needed

  • Chest X-ray
  • Audiogram
  • ECG

You can also combine it with a health screening package at a very competitive price as a value added service to you.













Diving Medical Doctor Service (DMEDS)

is designed to give you an absolute peace of mind, anytime and anywhere just pick up the phone and call us. A diving doctor will be there to provide advice on what to do when you are feeling unwell. He would be able to answer questions like:

I am not feeling well, can I dive today?
What should I do? I feel unwell?
I have some joint pains, is it DCS?
I have a headache, what is the cause?
I am on medications? can I dive?
I have been stung by a sea creature, I feel unwell now, what should I do?

If you had your medical history with us when you came for medical screening, the response is even better as we would have your medical background with us.

DMEDS will also assist with your return should you require recompression therapy, advice and consultation with the local doctor that will see you to ensure that you can get the best local care before going back to a centre of excellence in Singapore.
