AMEDs are approved by HSE to conduct statutory medical examinations on divers to ensure they are fit to dive. There are medical conditions that may prevent divers from diving or restrict the type of diving that they do. Before you visit an AMED, you should read the HSE guidance 'Are you medically fit?'. Initial HSE Dive Medical Before your first dive medical should complete the medical questionnaire www.hse.gov.uk/diving/medical-questionnaire.pdf, sign the declaration and ask your GP to countersign it to confirm your medical history. Your GP may charge a fee for this, but they do not need to examine you. This document is essential for working as a professional diver.
