A dive instructor is the first person to assess the
general health and medical fitness of a prospective diver before he or she
enters the water. Whether the diver is a recreational scuba diver, commercial,
military or research diver, the same evaluation of physical fitness will
apply.
Internationally recognized authors, surgeons and
researchers Bennett, Cronje and Campbell collaborated on this new book,
Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness for Scuba Divers and Instructors, to
provide instructors and divers a clear and concise reference addressing the
principles behind the necessary medical considerations and related decisions on
diving fitness. It will help instructors and active divers determine when the
input from a diving physician is mandatory and how to sensibly screen
prospective divers for medical problems.
Assessment of Diving: Medical
Fitness for Scuba Divers and Instructors is also an excellent reference for
first-time divers and experienced divers who may have medical questions related
to their personal health and fitness. It is designed to provide advice in
relatively simple non-medical language.
In the final analysis, it is the
personal responsibility of each diver to make a decision whether or not to dive,
and Bennett, Cronje and Campbell compiled this laymen’s guide for just that
purpose.
