Medical Form Requirements for Divers

Summary

Yes, all PADI and SSI dive schools on Koh Tao require a completed medical form before training. This is a mandatory safety requirement to identify contraindications to diving.

Details

• The medical questionnaire must be completed and signed before your first course (even if you've dived before)
• Form covers conditions including heart disease, asthma, epilepsy, pregnancy, ear/sinus problems, and medication use
• Honest answers are critical—diving with undisclosed medical conditions can be life-threatening
• If you answer "yes" to any questions, a doctor's clearance may be required (available on Koh Tao for ~500-800 THB)
• Medical forms are typically provided by your dive school upon arrival or available for download in advance
• Keep a signed copy for your records; schools maintain originals in their records
