I had childhood asthma, so before getting my c-card in March, I needed my doctor to sign the release. I've only done 11 dives, so I have a question for you much more experienced divers...
Should I bring a fresh copy to my doctor during my yearly check up and have her sign it every year?
Even though I needed the form to get the c-card, so perhaps the charters should trust that I have a doctor's permission anyway, I've heard from posters on this forum that some charters may make you sign another medical form. If you answer "yes" you can't dive without a doctor's permission.
Does it make sense to already be armed with that form, dated less than a year from the current date? Or does the original form, dated back when you got your c-card suffice?
