| Minimum age is 10.5 years old, registered Scouts |
| When filling in this form: 1. The forms *must* be accurately filled in. (People have died or nearly died because they thought this unimportant and lied. I have personally seen one such incident. The diver was still alive when the ambulance took her away after 10-15 minutes of CPR and being bagged with pure O2. She was very fortunate that she didn't do her open water dives off a boat miles from shore instead of at Dutch Springs.) 2. EVERY question requires a written YES or NO. You cannot put "NO" at the top of a column and draw an arrow, or use quotation marks, to indicate that all the answers are NO. 3. If there are no YES answers on page 1, then NO DOCTOR'S SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED and only p. 1 needs to be turned in. 4. If anything is answered YES on p. 1, then the entire form (all 6 pages) must be brought to the doctor and then p. 1 and p. 2 must be filled in, signed by the parent/guardian and the doctor as appropriate, and turned in. On the form:: Leave the instructor blank for now. The facility is Marsh Scuba, located in Poughkeepsie NY. |
