Planning a Diving Holiday at Six Senses Laamu? Explore the Safe Diving Protocols
Excited to return to the only dive resort in the Laamu Atoll? As Six Senses Laamu re-opens in less than 2 weeks, the luxury resort has rolled out some new protocols to make sure your diving holiday is safe, personal and unique. Six Senses Laamu features a PADI 5* dive centre, Deep Blue Divers, which offers PADI courses ranging from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster.
You will be required to complete a medical questionnaire and liability release in order to participate in any diving activities. The RSTC Medical Form is not a substitute for a medical check-up, but will usually indicate if you should have a medical check-up and if you will need a “Fit To Dive” certificate from a doctor to dive or not.
When you will need a Fit to Dive medical certificate from a doctor:
• If you answered “YES" to questions 3, 5 or 10 on page 1 or to any of the questions on page 2 of the RSTC form.
• If you are 65 years or older.
Even if you can answer all questions with “NO” on the RSTC form, an FTD certificate is still required for those 65 years or older. As mentioned above, it is highly recommended that you obtain this certificate from a licensed diving physician.
• If you are 75 years or older, the resort’s insurer applies special conditions
In addition, if you suffer from any serious medical condition which could compromise your safety and health while diving, you should be evaluated and certified fit to dive by a registered diving physician only.
When you will not need a Fit to Dive medical certificate from a doctor:
• If you answered “NO” to all questions on page 1.
• If you answered “NO" to questions 3, 5 and 10 on page 1 and to any of the questions on page 2 of the RSTC form.
• If you have no medical conditions and are under 65 years of age.
A “Fit To Dive” certificate should not include any restrictions or limitations as these may invalidate it. For enquiries: mgr-diving@sixsenses.com.
