About The Course

The Whale Defender course aims to contribute towards the conservation of whales by building awareness of the issues they face and inspiring students to speak up and act to protect whales.

What You Will Learn

The goals of this course are to inform students like you of the value of whales to both marine ecosystems and economies, as well as to educate you about the threats whale populations face, to build an understanding of current whale conservation management strategies, and to inspire you to help whales by taking action in your own lives. Ultimately we want to turn you, our students, into informed and passionate whale defenders who take action to help protect whales.

Medical Requirements

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

Avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course. Instructors, divemasters and dive shop staff are not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.​

If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive, contact the experts at Divers Alert Network (DAN).
