The American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) requires divers to undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure their fitness for diving activities. This evaluation is crucial to safeguard the health and safety of the divers, given the physical and physiological demands of underwater environments. Dive exams vary depending on age. Evaluation components may include medical history, physical exam, diagnostic tests, clearance, and follow-up.
