Both the Medical Examiner of Divers and the Diving Medicine Physician courses remain prerequisites for application. In addition, a Hyperbaric Medicine Physitian Diploma will be requested. This new regulation will reduce the amount of requested supervised activities, as the total number of hours/credits will remain the same.
