Scuba divers health to be monitored
Feb 28, 2006
Recreational scuba divers will soon be asked to provide information about their health to prevent more deaths under the water.
The New Zealand Underwater Association has begun circulating a medical questionnaire as part of best practice guidelines.
Its head of dive safety Lynn Taylor says it is in response to coroner recommendations after several diving deaths involving pre-existing medical conditions.
She says the questionnaire will also bring overseas divers who are not required to have a medical check before gaining a certificate to their attention.
Taylor hopes the questionnaire will help stop regulation being imposed on the industry.

I, for one, would LOVE to have a copy of this questionnaire!
Found their website .... http://www.nzunderwater.org.nz/
but no questionnaire posted yet.
They say early 2006.
