experience”

1. Note :  Foreign students should undergo a medical examination in their country of origin in order to establish whether they are fit or unfit to dive, prior to paying course fees and incurring travel expenses. It is especially important to have your ears checked to ensure you have no ear drum perforations and you have the ability to equalize.We recommend that you arrive before the course commences in order to undergo your South African diving medical. You will not be able to commence training if you are not in possession of a valid SA diving medical. No person can become a diver if they have chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma or epilepsy.
