diving medical examiner (DME)

A Diving Medical Examiner (DME) is a qualified healthcare professional who evaluates divers to ensure they are medically fit for diving activities. They review medical histories, perform physical exams, and identify conditions that could pose risks underwater. The DME ensures divers meet safety standards set by diving organizations, helping prevent diving-related health issues. Their assessment is essential for both recreational and professional divers to maintain safety and health while diving.
