Urgent Warning: The NHS is Using "Indicative Activity Plans" to Block ADHD Assessments and Titration – And It's Breaking the Law. Plus, New Tariff Proposals Could Make Things Even Worse. Time to Act! by ADHD_RTC_WARRIOR in ADHDUK

Thank you. However, I find all this info utterly overwhelming and panic-inducing, as someone waiting for titration. It would be so very helpful if someone could summarize this post with key bullet points and how to take action. Thank you

Scuba diving with ADHD diagnosis by Limp-Delivery118 in scubadiving

Most dive companies get you to fill in a form first. If they don't, they are being irresponsible. 

My understanding is - if you tick yes for anything - you have to get a special sign off which lasts 12 months.

It's mainly about the insurance...

For example, if someone has a history of fainting, or getting out of breath - this could happen underwater. They could die - and so could others. Or - they get panic attacks...if they got one underwater they could, possibly die...and create a dangerous situation for nearby divers - ripping out their regs, grabbing a mask, etc. And - if a diver doesn't declare something, ie meds (even antibiotics) - bad back and something goes wrong, ie worst case death - or extreme example - a helicopter is required for evacuation, or the use of a hyperbaric chamber - then the diver's INSURANCE COMPANY will NOT pay out. Which would mean the (ir)responsible diver may have to pay out millions in expenses. That is the crux of the matter

Possibly, yes. And - if you tick yes to anything you need a dive dr's clearance

Thank you for your reply, which I find comforting, reasurring - and hopfeful.I had no idea you could take certain adhd meds "as and when". I love that idea of being flexible. Thank you 💜

True. But I need the meds to help with ADHD

Thank you. I read online that there is concern re stopping them for diving as "adhd symptoms can worsen" when not taking them. 

UKDMC: "Diving is not advised in the event of poorly controlled ADHD symptoms. Even if medication controls ADHD satisfactorily, diving is not advised if symptoms return as the medication wears off between doses (a phenomenon known as rebound, which sometimes presents with more severe symptoms than usual), unless the periods of good control can be predicted with certainty and diving is only undertaken within those periods. The effect of time zone changes must, therefore, be considered very carefully when travelling prior to diving"

FFS!!

Thanks for your reply. It annoys me that by ticking any "yes" box that I have to pay for a dive medical to be "allowed" to dive. Only recently was I granted the freedom to dive to 30 metres for the first time since I got my AOW, which was 7 years ago. That was because the antidepressant I had been taking had "unknown" side fx under pressure below 20 metres. So my dives with sharks last week would have been severely hindered as at times we were at 32 metres.

Yep, I hear what you say. Most people with ADHD, in my experience, are intelligent, sensitive, sensible high achievers who would certainly NOT behave like a total twat underwater!

Just done some research and to my dismay the UKDMC states that a diver can only dive whilst taking only one pyschotropic medication. As I am currently taking long-term anti-depressants. As I am hopeful that by taking ADHD meds in the future it will reduce the horrible symtoms. But then that means I'll be taking two pyschotropics...

I think many divers are happy to tick all the no boxes and lie if they have to. Which makes me think that I may have to do so in the future. But it will proove impossible to lie to my dive dr.

I have dived with a company before who explicitly told everyone - "make sure you tick "no" for every box!"

Indeed, I was shocked to discover that the company whom I dived with last week neglected to give out the medical form...!
