Your usual GP can sign your dive medical but you may prefer to see a dive medical specialist who will be more able to discuss with you any issues regarding your diving fitness.
You can download a copy of the medical forms and find a list of dive doctors on our website at www.globaldive.net/dive_medical.html

The club holds regular meetings with guest speakers and organizes many local and international dive trips for all experience levels.
