The purpose of this medical questionnaire is to find out whether you should be examined by a physician or not before taking part in any underwater activity. A positive response means that a physician must be consulted. Atlantis Diving Centre provides the service of a doctor specialised in diving medicine for those who require a medical check-up. The cost of this check-up is €25.00. Medical certificates from abroad are accepted. Though not required, we always recommend a doctor ‘s medical before going to the sea.
