Read our Terms and Conditions

Who Can Learn to Dive? 

Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit and comfortable in the water. If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the medical questions on the PADI Forms then you would need a note from your GP saying that you are okay to dive. If you would prefer a professional dive medic to take a look at you then we suggest the London Diving Chamber.
