How much do dive medical certificates cost?
Anyone got any prices? I've been ringing around locally (bayside Melbourne) and found the following rates:
$154 - Jasper Medical Clinic Centre Road Bentleigh $176 - Prahran Sports Medicine Clinic $119 - Bluff Road Medical Centre - Sandringham $132 - Bay Road Medical Centre - Sandringham $165 - Hampton Medical - 3 Service Street - Hampton
I saw a price range quoted by the Monash diving club which stated $70-$140...don't know how old those figures are.

I paid $150 at some place in the CBD... kind of steep if for a simple medical if you ask me. The one plus was that my medical insurance covered 75% of the cost, so you may want to look into the coverage that yours provides.

Will look into that - I'm with HCF with full cover. One other interesting thing I found was that there are two doctors in the Hampton practice; one requires that you get a chest x-ray prior to the medical - the other doesn't require the chest x-ray.
So...will that mean he wants a chest x-ray done later? Or is it entirely optional?

About a month ago I made a few calls in order to get the best quote. They ranged from $120 - $350 (inc. X-ray, even though that isn't necessary).
In the end I paid $120 at: Dr John H Silver 105 Riversdale Road, HAWTHORN 3122 03 9818 3233

Having spent the last year going from OW to MSD with Camel thought [url=http://www.testnotes.com/exam/70-632.htm]70-632[/url] I might as well go the whole hog and do my divemaster in may, keeps the brain active and PADI in certificate fees [url=http://www.testnotes.com/exam/70-633.htm]70-633[/url]
simple question for you all, for the Divemaster you apparantly need a medical signed by your doctor [url=http://www.testnotes.com/exam/70-634.htm]70-634[/url], have printed out the PADI form and my doctor wants a £125 to check me over and sign it has anybody come across this before and is their another [url=http://www.testnotes.com/exam/70-635.htm]70-635[/url] option ? cheaper obviously

Bula Baby!
by Jo
- It all started on flying in early on Friday the 22nd (a day before the rest of the crew, which were coming from the US). I received the most wonderful welcome and had a great time scoping out my new home for the next week and a half before having a great nights rest in my DOUBLE KING sized bed, meaning that it was about 4m wide (never knew they made beds that large!). I awoke to the sound of "Yeeeehaw" echoing through the place and knew at once that the Texans and the rest of the gang had arrived.
