Medical specialist in Jakarta area

[stepfen]

Hi,
It turns out I need a clear to dive medical certificate. I am arriving to Jakarta tomorrow where I will be based for the coming two weeks before heading to Raja Ampat on the 28 th of February for 1 week of diving.
Anybody who can give me such info ?
I've also asked DAN but they have been very slow replying my emails.
Thanks a lot in advance

perhaps a dive shop or instructor in the area can give you some assistance......just a suggestion...good luck and happy diving.

Easy... SOS International in a neighborhood in South Jakarta called Cipete is where most expats in Jakarta go for basic medical services. They are good people.

I contacted them today but they said they provide services to members only.

I'm also contacting a doctor DAN suggested but he sounds reluctant too (said he will call back but did not etc). Let's see

Ok—— Try these guys. My employer works with them too. They are somewhat new to Jakarta but many people are impressed with them.

I've been diving Indonesia since 2004 & never heard of such a requirement, unless maybe special circumstances require it. Who is requesting the review? Can you see your own doctor before the trip?

It's nothing particular to Indonesia. I am just currently located in Jakarta. I’ve been taking some medication recently (see here Urticaria, Xolair and diving for more details) and I am looking at how they might affect my diving. DAN has been quite negative about it and asked me to consult a specialist so that's what I am trying to get.
