SCUBA diving: staying in your depth
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 20:37 authored by Michael Modell, Simon Glew, Sangeetha Sornalingam, Maxwell CooperMaxwell CooperRecreational SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) is defined as diving to a depth of 40 metres without decompression stops. This has become increasingly popular over the last two decades, with around 100 000 individuals in the UK participating in diving (British Thoracic Society, 2003; Edmonds, Lowry, Pennefather & Walker, 2005). This article considers what GPs need to know about contraindications to diving, professional liability associated with documenting fitness to dive and the role of diving medicine specialists.
