abstract

SCUBA diving can be safely performed if a careful pre-dive examination regarding the medical standards of diving is performed, and if all necessary precautions are taken with attENTion being paid to the potential risks of diving. The most frequent medical problems arising from SCUBA diving fall into the otolaryngology discipline; thus, candidates should be examined in terms of ENT disorders that may prevent them from diving. This article aims to review particular aspects of ENT examination, investigation methods, and criteria for candidates
