PADI Med Certificate

Going to do AOWD in Spain in May, and i need a med certificate. My doc says
I need a form for him to fill in - is there anywhere online to get one, or
do I have to rind PADI and get one mailed out?

Thanks

No you can't. That's the BSAC form. PADI use a different one.

That's the UKSDMC form, not the BSAC form.
Don't know whether PADI might use another stupid US form that's totally
useless anywhere outside of the US. I guess they probably do

Who told you you needed to get the medical form filled in? Suggest asking
them what certificate is needed and from where you can source it.

It's lots of places on the web. I found one here

The dive school told me I did - have emailed them to ask if they have a
form, but no reply as yet.

Thanks all!

They didn't seem particularly interested in one last October when I went
there and did OW referral and AOW. I took one anyway (it's not particularly
hard to get a collegue to "here, sign this") but they told me, when I offered
it, that it wasn't required.

I don't think it is actually compulsory. It is a FEDAS requirement and if
you want to be covered by the FEDAS organised deco chamber insurance, then
yes, you do need a medical. If you have your own insurance, you probably
don't.

However, ask different dive centres, and you'll get different answers.
They used to be most insistent in the Canaries, but since the UK went
self-cert, a lot of places seem to have dropped the requirement. Probably
costing them business.

In Malta if you dive with a local school you dont have to have the medical
if you dive on your own with a buddy you should have a medical.
If you need a medical form email me and i can mail you one.
