IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR FREEDIVERS
Participants must have recent diving experience and good physical health. If it’s been more than 6 months since your last dive, we recommend a refresher dive before starting the course.
Please note that when diving and taking course in Con Dao, we highly recommend all students to have travel insurance that covers freediving and emergency evacuation, due to the island’s remoteness and limited medical facilities.
If your current policy does not cover this, we recommend DAN (Divers Alert Network) for reliable coverage.

All those wishing to partake in PADI Courses must complete the PADI medical form before diving. Click here to view the form.
If the answer is YES to ANY of the questions, please print out the form and see a doctor BEFORE travelling to Con Dao. You must obtain medical certification that it is safe for you to dive. We cannot do this on the island. If your answers are all NO’s, that’s fine – we can complete the medical form when you get here.
Divers should not ascend to a high altitude within 12 hours of completing a single dive or 18 hours after doing multiple dives (whenever possible, wait 24 hours).
