This is the first time I have taken this kind of medical for anything so I was a bit apprehensive as to how I would go. I know I am pretty fit and healthy but you always have that fear that they will turn up something and that's it your dream is over.
The doctor was great and I would highly recommend him. He is diver friendly as he is a diver himself and he takes a genuine interest in what you are doing or what you are trying to achieve. He is the only listed HSE appointed doctor in Bristol but doesn't rely on this and puts in the effort to make you feel at ease as you progress through the numerous tests. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to get through and covers most of your body - Urine Test, ECG, Fitness Test, Hearing Test, Eye Test, BP and full questionnaire. This is on top of the Blood test and Medical History confirmation you have to complete at your own GP surgery beforehand.
A few drinks tonight to celebrate I think! Then it is back on to the books tomorrow aswell as sorting out accommodation and numerous other things...
