1.6 General Prerequisites for All GUE Courses
All GUE courses have the following prerequisites (any additional prerequisite, as well as any deviations from the following, will be listed under the specific course section):
Must submit a completed registration form, complete with medical history, and liability release to GUE Headquarters.
Must be physically and mentally fit.
Must hold insurance that will cover diving emergencies such as hyperbaric treatment e.g. DAN Master-level insurance or equivalent.
Must be a nonsmoker.
Must obtain a physicians prior written authorization for the use of prescription drugs, except for birth control, or for a prior medical condition that may pose a risk while diving. A partial list of such conditions may be found on GUEs medical history form. Conditions that pose a risk to students while diving require a physicians written approval to dive; this information must be disclosed to their GUE instructor before the onset of training. Physician clearance for a specific condition is valid for one year from the date it is given, assuming there are no further changes to the students medical conditions. Physician clearance to dive under a specific medical condition does not obligate GUE or a GUE representative to clear a trainee for diving; this remains at the sole discretion of the instructor.
Must be a non smoker?

but saying if I smoke I can't dive do Fundys..
