Dive Medicals

Dr Mark Lipzker is qualified to perform diving medicals. The cost is $280.00 and not able to be claimed through Medicare or private health funds.
Please note that we are unable to provide recreational DIVE medicals at this time.
The underwater environment presents unique physiological stresses to the body which can be exacerbated if the diver has certain pre-existing medical conditions. For this reason, before undertaking a SCUBA diving course in Australia, you are required to present a valid Australian Standard 4005.1 Recreational SCUBA Diving Medical Certificate. At Carnegie Medical Centre Dr Lipzker has been carrying out diving medicals for over 20 years.
The diving medical will take 30 to 40 minutes and it is highly recommended you book in advance. A detailed medical questionnaire must be completed prior to consultation – see below to download the questionnaire. If you have any further questions email us or visit spums.org.au.
