Coronavirus / COVID-19

COVID-19 CAN HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS FOR DIVING.

DESPITE THIS, THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS IN DIVERS WHO HAVE HAD A MILD FORM OF THE DISEASE, DID NOT NEED TO BE ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL AND HAVE REGAINED THEIR PHYSICAL FITNESS BEFORE RETURNING TO DIVE. THEREFORE UKDMC NOW RECOMMENDS THAT DIVERS IN THAT GROUP DO NOT NEED TO HAVE AN ASSESSMENT BY A MEDICAL REFEREE.

DIVERS ARE STILL WELCOME TO DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS WITH A UKDMC MEDICAL REFEREE.

PLEASE SEE THE DOWNLOADS BELOW AND Q18 OF THE FAQs FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
