Diving After Recovering From COVID-19
Regarding diving after recovery from Covid-19, there are currently ongoing discussions about the potential long-term and short-term medical effects, and whether this will impact individuals participating in scuba diving
As we know, the virus effects people in various ways with different levels of severity & varying levels of long or short-term consequences. As it stands there is no evidence or link to prove that people who have recovered from Covid19 are at risk to dive anymore so then a person who has recovered from pneumonia, high blood pressure or any other medical condition that would under normal circumstances seek a general medical before resuming scuba diving or any other adventure activity again.
As a result, unless you enroll in a PADI course where it is actually necessary, there are no "requirements" yet for seeking a medical to resume diving. However, as with all of the above conditions, if you had and recovered from Covid19, we at Scuba Junkie would strongly recommend that you seek advice from your personal physician and pursue a medical examination, especially if you had more serious or long-lasting symptoms before you resume your Scuba Diving just to be on the safe side so you can enjoy your diving worry free.
