Scuba Certification in Denver

Prerequisites for learning to dive –

• Be at least 10 years old
• Have adequate swimming skills
• Be in good physical health
• Download and complete the following required forms:
  • Required Course Documents
  • SSI Open Water Training Record

IMPORTANT  – When completing the Diver Medical/Participant Questionnaire

1. If there is a YES response to questions 3, 5, or 10 on page 1 of the Diver Medical form or to ANY of the questions on page 2, the participant will need to sign and date the Participant’s Signature on page 1 AND take all three pages of the Participant Questionnaire and Physician’s Evaluation Form to their physician for a medical evaluation.  Their physician must approve, date, and sign the form to include an MD or DO with their signature.  We are not permitted to accept the signature of a PA or Nurse Practitioner. 
2. There are two questions related to COVID-19 – If you answer them with a YES, “A PHYSICIAN’S MEDICAL EVALUATION IS REQUIRED.”  You must make sure the physician signing the form checks the “Approval” box on page three of the form and adds their medical credential MD or DO after their name. There are NO EXCEPTIONS!

Unfortunately, you’ll not be able to begin the water session until all of the documents have been completed, collected, and reviewed for accuracy.
