How Do I Get Started?

Considering a career in diving

The following minimum requirements have to be met: 

Failure to meet any of these requirements will result in a student not being permitted to commence training:

Diving Medical Fitness

A Diving medical is required by the Department of Labour South Africa Diving Regulation. 

Not every body is fit to become a commercial diver.

The diving doctor will check if  you are fit to dive (Diving medical Fitness) and how the work place will effect you. (Occupational Medical Surveillance) 

Diving fitness looks at your ability:

It is especially important to have your ears checked to ensure you have no holes in your ear drums and have the ability to equalize.  You have to be fit and have a good pair of lungs or you will fail your lung function testing!. 

At SEADOG will organise everything you need to do. It's often better to ensure you are fit before coming for training.
