I use prescription medication. Can I dive?

It depends on the medication and your health condition. Before diving, you’ll need to fill out a medical form. If you answer “yes” to any questions, you’ll need clearance from a doctor to ensure it’s safe for you to dive. Safety first!

When do I need to get a medical clearance from my doctor?

If you have any pre-existing medical condition, you will need a medical clearance from your doctor/physician. If you are above 50 years of age, you will need a medical clearance from your doctor/physician even if you have no medical conditions. If you are under 50 years of age and have no medical conditions, you can sign a self-declaration.

I am a doctor. Can I sign my own medical form?

Even if you’re a doctor, it’s recommended to have another medical professional sign your form. This ensures an unbiased evaluation of your fitness to dive and aligns with diving safety protocols.

Is it really necessary to check the PADI Medical Form?

We strongly advise that you check the PADI Medical Statement before signing up for a course and traveling to the Andaman. We will need to see a medical clearance in case of a pre-existing medical condition, or when you above 50 years of age,  without it you cannot dive! On the island, you will not find a doctor who can assess your medical condition.

read padi medical statement

I am not a swimmer. Can I experience scuba diving in the Andaman Islands?

Of course! You can sign up for the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program, an experienced dive professional will accompany you at all times. They can swim for you if required! For the Open Water Course swimming is a must as we will ask you to swim tor 200 meters (or snorkel for 300 meters) and float for 10 minutes in water to deep to stand up in.

What is the age limit for Scuba Diving?

The minimum age for scuba diving is 10 years old for most PADI programs. There’s no maximum age as long as you’re healthy and meet the medical requirements. However, as per local Andaman rules, the minimum age is 12 years and maximum age is 60 years.

How long do need to wait to fly after diving?

You need to wait for at least 12 hours before you can fly after a single dive and at least 18 hours after multiple dives. 

How deep can I dive?

Your diving depth depends on your certification level. If you have signed up for Discover Scuba Dive, the maximum depth you dive to will be 12 metres (40 feet). Open Water Certified Divers can dive to 18 metres, while Advanced Open Water Certified Divers can go up to 30 metres. Only divers certified with Deep Speciality can dive upto 40 metres, which is the depth limit of recreational diving.
