new: Diving Medical Examination
Recreational Diving Medical Screening System
by UNDERSEA & HYPERBARIC MEDICAL SOCIETY with the support of CMAS
In 2020, the international Diver Medical Screening Committee (DMSC) released a new diver medical screening system and guidance to the physician. The following is an overview of that system.
Three-part system
- Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire is completed by the diving candidate.
- Diver Medical Physician's Evaluation Form is completed by the physician evaluating the diving candidate for diving suitability when a physician's approval to dive is necessary.
- Diving Medical Guidance is a peer reference for physicians seeking additional information regarding how specific conditions relate to diving.
The implementation of this system in the different CMAS federations is left to the choice of the federations, considering the constraints and regulations in their country.
