Prior to your first class session your instructor will need to have from you a signed Medical Release Statement.
Please print this form and fill out each blank with a full 'YES' or 'NO'. If you answer 'YES' to any of the questions please have
your doctor sign off on the form. A 'YES' doesn't necessarily preclude you from Scuba Diving, it just means that your doctor should
be consulted to determine the safety of your participation. We're unable to advise you about what you should answer (we're Scuba Instructors
- not Doctors), if you have any questions please discuss them with your doctor. We can't put you in the pool without a cleared Medical -
if you have no YES's your signature is all we need.

This is the form you will need to have filled out prior to participation in any Underwater Sports sponsored trip,
event or dive. You will need to turn in a separate form each time you go out on a dive with us. You may also want to carry a copy of
this release when going boat diving as it is fairly standard and can save you time at the dock. We suggest that you put a few extra
copies in your log book so you'll always have them if you need them.

Do you need corrective lenses for your mask? This form walks your eye doctor/vision clinic through the
information that we need. Please make sure they fill out all the areas that have YELLOW highlights.

This form will walk you through figuring out your SAC Rate. Your SAC rate will allow you to figure out how much gas you
will require to safely conduct a planned dive. This calculation is a very important part of advanced and technical dive planning.
Your SAC rate will change over time so we recommend that you figure out and record your SAC rate for every dive, this way you have a running
standard for what your actual SAC rate should be.

Make sure you don't forget anything! This checklist is a handy reminder for all the gear you need to bring,
and the information you need to have. It has a convenient place to keep track of your gear as you pack it to go... and pack it to leave
from the site. The checklist also has places for information about the closest medical facilities to the site, ferry times, and tide
information. This is the sheet we use when we're planning dives.
