In taking any dive course, or engaging in any dive activities, regardless of previous experience or training,
Karma Diving & Yoga requires a complete medical Questionnaire to be filled out in good faith.
The activities proposed by Karma Diving & Yoga can be demanding, and customers are therefore required to be reasonably fit to participate

a result of physical unfitness are not ground for complaint or refund.
If you have any health conditions, are currently medicated or have had any illness, injury or operation that may
affect you whilst diving,
please let the staff of Karma Diving & Yoga know in advance.
Failure to inform the staff about this may result in your inability to dive.
Should we have any valid reasons to suspect a potentially dangerous medical condition,
we reserve the right, at any time, to require the customers to provide medical clearance to resume dive activities.
This medical clearance should be realized by a doctor specialized in hyperbaric medicine.
Failure to provide such clearance upon Karma Diving & Yoga’s requests disallows refunds or compensation for dives/activities lost.
If you are allergic to any form of medication, please state this clearly in writing during booking process.
If you need additional help, health advice, or medical topics,
feel free to get in touch directly with the Karma Diving & Yoga management team.
