Try Scuba Diving

    You've always wanted to try it!  Don't wait another day.  Sign up today to try scuba diving at Jack's Diving Locker in Kona, Hawaii.  Kona's warm waters are an excellent place to experience the fun and adventure of exploring the underwater world.  The adventure begins in the Jack's Diving Locker custom built scuba training pool with viewing window.  A PADI professional will teach you the basics of breathing underwater using the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program.  After practicing in the pool, you can head to the shore for a dive in the ocean exploring one of the local coral reefs or reserve a space on one of our two-tank boat trips.  Pool and shore dives are great for first timers, people with less available time or who aren't as comfortable in the water.  Boat dives are better for repeat divers and people who are more comfortable in the water.  Don't wait another day, try SCUBA - sign up today!

Medical Statement:
Scuba diving is an exciting and demanding activity.  To Scuba dive safely, you must not be extremely overweight or out of condition.  Diving can be strenuous under certain conditions. Your respiratory and circulatory systems must be in good health.  All body air spaces must be normal and healthy.  A person with heart trouble, a current cold or congestion, epilepsy, asthma, a severe medical problem, or who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, should not dive.   If taking medication, consult your doctor before participating in this program.

The purpose if this Medical Questionnaire is to find out if you should be examined by a physician before participating in recreational scuba diving. A positive response to a question does not necessarily disqualify from diving.  A positive response means that there is a preexisting condition that may affect your safety while diving and you must seek the advice of a physician.

Please answer the following questions on your past and present medical history with a YES or NO. If you are not sure, answer YES.  If any of these items apply to you, we must request that you consult with a physician prior to participating in scuba diving.  Your instructor will supply you with a PADI Medical Statement and Guidelines for Recreational Scuba Diver's Physical Examination to take to a physician.
