Unfortunately there is little we can do about people who put false information on the green sheets.
If divers were required to carry medical certs, regularly updated, that might address the problem but a) it would be a nightmare b) many casual divers would just quit c) such a scheme would never be global and d) medical problems can come up spontaneously.
We have to rely on people being fundamentally honest. If someone is daft enough to risk their health diving with a condition they know to be dodgy they have only themselves to blame. If they've signed a disclaimer. the dive leader should be covered. I won't dive with a cold, if someone else wants to dive with an inner ear problem or a heart condition, more fool them. |
