HSE Medical - How Much !!!!

Made an enquiry yesterday for a diving medical and was quoted £170 plus the vat, when I picked myself up off the floor, i wondered if there were different levels of medicals.

I have heard of a sports diver medical should I of asked for a price on that?

Just out of interest whats everyone else paying for there medicals and can anyone recomend anywhere nice and cheap in the North West.

I would recommend Dr Ashe as well!

Top class, and I think I paid £70 for my first one - which included the extra price for the ECG, but there were a few of us having it, so i don't know whether that was a special price!!

Certainly will be a lot less than £170!

Get mine done by Tourist on this site. £45 for the last one (due another now) and Mark does an ecg every time, but maybe that's 'cos he's so surprised that I'm still alive !

Sorry, but we're in SW Lahndahn

HSE medical is for commercial divers sport medical is for people that just want to go diving. Sport diver med is typically about 40 quid.
