I Agree RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RETURNING TO DIVING AFTER COVID-19 (Updated 2/2022) The Diver Medical Screen Committee (DMSC), in collaboration with the Divers Alert Network (DAN), the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC), the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society, and the World Underwater Federation (CMAS) has revised its screening system to focus on symptoms most likely to be problematic for divers, as discussed below. (https://www.daneurope.org/en/-/ftd-after-covid-update), Depending on the clinical manifestation of COVID-19, divers can be divided into 4 groups: Group A - Asymptomatic, paucisymptomatic (nasal congestion and/or sore throat, in the absence of fever, cough, malaise, headache and/or myalgia) with transitory clinical manifestations.
- In such cases, returning to diving is not recommended before 7 days after recovery.
- A medical check-up with your treating doctor is recommended if you do not feel you have regained normal physical and mental capacity.
Group B - Mild illness (See Table below) where no hospitalization and/or antiviral, antibiotic, cortisone or heparin treatment has been required.
- In these cases, we recommend a clinical assessment by the family doctor or a Diving Medicine specialist after 10 days since recovery. The assessment should consider the age of the diver, any condition identified as diving risk factors, vaccination status.
Group C - Divers who have presented with moderate illness (See Table below) or have otherwise required hospitalization and/or antiviral, antibiotic, cortisone, or heparin treatment due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Group D - Divers with severe or critical illness (See Table).
Table (Condition/Stage and Features): - Asymptomatic infection

- Paucysymptomatic form
- Presence of symptoms such as nasal congestion and/or sore throat, without fever, cough, malaise, headache and/or myalgia
- Mild illness
