WHO CAN DIVE?

Anyone with a sense of adventure can dive with us on a deep submersible dive.

Deep Ocean Expeditions submersibles are all operated at one atmosphere - diving is akin to driving your car.

However dives are approximately 10-12 hours in duration, the submersibles are small and the following medical conditions may prevent you from participating in diving.

  • History of myocardial infarction(s)
  • History of cerebrovascular accidents (e.g. stroke, brain hemorrhage, etc.)
  • History of coronary artery disease and angina pectoris
  • History of cardiovascular disease with shortness of breath
  • History of pulmonary disease with shortness of breath
  • Diabetes mellitus, poorly controlled or insulin dependent
  • Severe to moderately severe asthma
  • Conditions associated with urinary or bowel incontinence or leakage and flatulence
  • Conditions such as marked obesity and back or joint disabilities which preclude entering, exiting and spending hours in close, cramped and perhaps uncomfortable positions
  • Anxiety, emotional depression and/or various psychiatric disorders
  • History of seizure disorders
  • History of severe or disabling surgical procedures
  • Each proposed participant (passenger) must provide a list of his/her current medication, prescription and non-prescription (to be completed on the attached form)
  • Each passenger should have adequate amounts of medications with him/her to last the duration of the trip
