Era Health provides initial and annual recreational and occupational diving medicals, and manages medical conditions caused by diving.  These examinations and medical management are conducted by experienced doctors who have undertaken an approved course of training in underwater medicine at the School of Underwater Medicine, HMAS Penguin, Sydney, and who have been accredited by SPUMS.

The medical examinations are conducted in accordance with AS 4005.1 (for recreational divers) and AS 2299 (for occupational divers).

For recreational divers, the medical examination consists of:

  • Completion of a medical questionnaire regarding past and current health
  • A physical examination
  • A urine analysis
  • An assessment of your vision
  • An assessment of lung function
  • An assessment of hearing

In some cases, an ECG and chest X-ray may also be required.

For those with certain pre-existing medical conditions, it may be necessary for the examining doctor to speak with either your general practitioner or specialist.
