Thinking of booking Zero Gravity Soft Skills Training retreat to develop and strengthen your fundamental life and work Soft Skills in zero gravity? How healthy should you be? Do you have to be in great shape?

You don’t have to be an Olympic athlete or in the prime of your youth to take part in these Soft Skills simulation diving missions. In fact, the oldest person to ever scuba dive was 100 years old! At Sea Breaze we regularly welcome participants over the age of 70.

Below are some examples of medical conditions that prevent people from diving. However, if you are in good health and can walk up two flights of stairs without feeling a shortage of breath, which is the case for the majority of people, there is probably no reason not to take part in our program’s simulation dive.

People with the following conditions cannot take part in diving

Heart conditions	Angina pectoris, recent heart attack, poorly balanced hypertension
Lung diseases	Regular asthma attacks
ENT diseases	Dizziness, severe deafness
Neurological diseases	Epilepsy
Other conditions	Claustrophobia, pregnancy, certain courses of medication

*This is not the full list. Please see the “Medical document”.

Do you need to see a doctor before diving?

All participants in this program are recommended to undergo a medical examination before making their dive. Your general practitioner, or ideally a diving doctor, can examine you.

Here’s what you should do.

1. Print the documents

Fill in and sign them. Then email us completed and signed. If you’re 45 or younger, you probably won’t need a doctor’s written approval. In any case, our team will inform you after receiving the completed and signed documents by email.

2. Make an appointment with a doctor

If you are over 45 make an appointment with your general practitioner, or even better with a diving doctor.

If you are over 65, you should also have an electrocardiogram, so make an appointment with a cardiologist as well. Don’t forget to tell him the reason you want it, since the standard electrocardiogram doesn’t cover it.

IMPORTANT: The electrocardiogram must be valid 30 days before your medical examination.

3. Send your medical certificate and other documents completed and signed.

Send your medical certificate or the form “Responsible declaration – Medical history signed and stamped by the doctor to the address: edu{at}seabreaze.gr

NOTE: Do not attach the EKG.
