Commercial Diving Medical Assessments
Our commercial diving medical services include:
- Initial commercial diver medical examinations
- Periodic and renewal medical assessments
- IMCA-related diving medical assessments
- OEUK medical examinations
- Fitness-to-dive assessments
- Return-to-diving assessments

Assessments focus on the medical factors relevant to occupational diving, including cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, musculoskeletal, ENT, hearing and vision fitness.
IMCA Commercial Diver Medicals
HealthBay provides IMCA commercial diving medical assessments through physicians experienced in diving medicine.
The assessment considers the medical factors relevant to the physical and physiological demands of commercial diving, including the diver’s cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, musculoskeletal and ENT status.
Particular attention may be given to:
- Previous decompression illness
- Pulmonary conditions and respiratory function
- Cardiovascular risk
- Neurological history
- Ear and sinus conditions
- Previous pneumothorax or thoracic surgery
- Musculoskeletal function
- Medication and its relevance to diving
- Previous significant illness or surgery
- Fitness following a diving-related medical event
The medical assessment is not limited to a routine health check. Findings are considered in the context of occupational diving and the applicable medical requirements.
IMCA’s guidance on health, fitness and medical issues in diving operations specifically addresses the initial and continuing medical fitness of commercial divers, including the responsibilities of diving contractors and medical professionals.
OEUK Medicals
HealthBay also provides OEUK medical examinations in Dubai for offshore personnel requiring occupational medical certification.
Assessments are conducted according to the applicable OEUK medical requirements and may include clinical examination and relevant investigations based on the individual’s role and medical history.
Specialist Diving Medical Assessment
Commercial diving requires medical fitness appropriate to the demands of underwater and hyperbaric work.
Our Diving Medicine specialists assess individual medical findings in the context of occupational diving requirements rather than applying a general fitness assessment.
Where further evaluation is required, additional investigations or specialist review may be recommended before a fitness decision is made.
Return-to-Diving Assessments
A specialist assessment may be required following:
- Significant illness or surgery
- Diving-related injury
- Decompression illness
- Respiratory or cardiovascular conditions
- Other medical events that may affect diving fitness
IMCA guidance specifically recognises the need for assessment of a diver’s fitness to return to diving following serious illness or accidents.
