You do need to be reasonably fit and healthy to scuba dive. When you first book we attach a medical questionnaire which you need to read through before you arrive for your course. If you have to answer “Yes” to any of the questions you will need to see a doctor before you may partake in any water work and get a doctors letter declaring you “fit to dive”.
