Do you have a pre-existing medical condition, serious injury or have you suffered from decompression illness?

There is a requirement to declare any pre-existing medical conditions, serious injuries or previous decompression illness. This requirement is not onerous and is there to help guide our members to discuss any potential problems with a diving doctor, if appropriate. In some cases, the diver may be required to obtain a Fitness to Dive certificate in accordance with the guidelines of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS). However, in most cases to date, no further action is necessary. It is also providing us with some valuable information about the types of conditions that people are diving with.

If YES, you can complete the online declaration as you complete the online application form. Alternatively, Click Here to download a Medical Declaration Form and return it to the DAN AP Head Office, once completed, along with your application. Please note your application cannot be processed until this form has been received
