You’re starting the diving adventure? Or is this sport your passion?

Remember to take tests and get a certificate from your sports doctor when starting your adventure with this sport. In our Centre we offer tests for divers to identify possible contraindications to practicing this sport. The number and type of tests is determined by the regulation of the Minister of Health. Consultations in the field of diving medicine are provided by doc. Ernest Kuchar – sports medicine specialist who completed a course in pathophysiology of diving.

The patient will receive a consultation:
qualification for recreational diving
medical certificate for diving
certificate/qualification to participate in diving sports competitions
to stamp a diving booklet with a diving qualification
qualification for diving in periodic examinations
diving advice in tropical countries
pressure test
Before the visit, the patient should have an ENT consultation and perform the following tests:
Chest X-ray
Spirometry
ECG at rest
Basic blood tests ( morphology, OB, glucose )
Advice:

Before starting a dive it is worth checking the nasal septum, because during a dive there are pressure differences that affect our body. The septum curve, inflammation of the sinuses or other obstruction of the ducts connecting the sinuses with the nasal cavity and the lack of proper ventilation make it impossible for the pressure to equalize spontaneously. This can lead to barotrauma. If you are struggling with these problems, it is essential that you visit an ENT specialist.
