GUE Section 1.6

Section 1.6 states that any GUE student "must be physically and mentally fit." However, there is no elaboration on this point, so I'm assuming the definition is left up to the instructor to interpret as they see fit.

If you, as an instructor, had a student show up who was fat, yet was able to meet all of the requirements otherwise, would you allow them to take the course?

Considering the general shape of recreational divers that I've seen (myself included), I would say the large percentage would not meet my definition of physically fit. I'd like to know what the GUE definition is for the purposes of taking a Fundamentals course.
