All the form has a a box to check that says:I dove with Tradewinds to the BVI's last year and although they do not require the UHMS Medical Questionnaire....... for anyone over 65, they do require a letter from your PCP stating that you are cleared to dive. I talked with my PCP about that and we both laughed and agreed that no doctor in their right mind would ever make that statement. Instead, my letter, signed on on his letterhead and electronically filed in My Chart states as follows:
"As his Primary Care Physician _____________________________________ is under my care. He is generally in good health and I am not aware of any contraindications to him participating in recreational scuba diving activities."
Approved – I find no conditions that I consider incompatible with recreational scuba diving or freediving.
None of my PCPs have found that onerous to sign.
