Divemaster Medical Release

For Divemaster (PADI), is a doctor's signature required, or is it still just required if you check yes to any of the questions?

... but all of the dive professional ratings that I am aware of require a physical every two years whether you can check "no" in all the contraindication boxes or not. I do believe that this is an industry standard and ties into our liability insurance somehow.

Yes the Divemaster must get a physical signed by a doctor. You can find the form in the Appendix of General Standards and procedures in your PADI instructor manual pages A5 and A6.

for the quick responses. I'm at work right now without my Instructor manual to reference. We were having a little discussion about this and I knew I could get an answer here.
