Dive Medicals

[Wibble]

I'll wager there are more folks keeling over who should have known better, or did know better, than there are for no apparent reason.

And an awful lot more exaggerating their skills and failing, likely fatally.

Saying something over and over does not make it more true.
Phrasing an assertion as a question does not make it more acceptable.
Using hyperbole to buttress a weak point is not compelling.

With due respect to your Master Instructor rating and 2500+ dives:
What point do I make that you call 'weak'?
What assertion do I make that you call 'hyperbole'?
I made an assertion and a supporting argument... is that what you call "saying something over and over"?
I guess my counterpoint would be 'Saying it with a few words, like your "blame it on the insurance companies", does not make it more true'.
Phrasing an assertion as a question is meant to invoke further discussion within this forum.
My local dive shop doesn't accept only the signed page (and the shop owner has been in the business for 30 years).

Personally, I would seek out an alternative scuba operator for any activity requiring medical clearance. I have absolutely no interest in having my personal medical information held in a potentially insecure environment.

Pages 1 & 2 are none of their business and I’d tell them that. Page 3 is all they need.
