I am headed to Sandals Montego Bay in three weeks. While there I plan to participate in their inclusive scuba program. Here is my confusion. This is listed on the Sandals web site:
Scuba Courses at Sandals Luxury All Inclusive Caribbean Resorts
Experienced divers rejoice!
Sandals offers some of the most exciting dive sites in the entire Caribbean region, as well as top-of-the-line equipment; extremely knowledgeable and expert dive masters and captains; and a customized fleet of state-of-the-art 49' Newton boats. Thrilling underwater experiences await.
Just download and fill out this mandatory medical questionnaire, which will assess if you meet the minimum physical requirements to safely participate in this sport. The Medical Questionnaire must be completely filled and signed by a physician prior to arrival at the resort.
Here is my confusion. If I have already been medically cleared by PADI (I had to be cleared to get OW certified) then why the heck would I need to go back to the doc to get a form signed again? If the form is filled out again then it requires a physician signature since I am on BP meds.
Here is my other question. My wife has no health issues. As such, PADI did not require a physician signature for her health form. In reading the above, it appears that she would still need a physician signature on a form.
Am I reading this incorrectly? I contacted Sandals. They said they contacted the resort while I was on-line and confirmed this.
Thoughts?
