I am PADI OWD qualified and have done 3 of the 5 Advanced modules. The Dive Centres that I dived with in Greece and the Canary Islands simply wanted a "Doctor's Certificate" saying that I was fit to dive. They didn't insist on a specific Dive Qualified Physician.

I follow the BSAC procedures for testing beforehand, and dive with a Buddy that is familiar with my condition. We both carry glucose tabs in a waterproof container. I have never had a problem with a hypo whilst diving.

I was hoping to dive again this summer, but I have been having problems with hypos that makes this inadvisable at present.
