A board-certified physician reviews your records, sees you on a short video visit, and signs your RSTC form the same day.
Most primary care physicians see the RSTC Diver Medical once a decade, and many decline to sign it. Meanwhile your course starts Saturday.
Your records plus a live video visit, every time. No clearance is ever issued from a questionnaire alone.
If you can’t be safely cleared online, we say so, refer you to in-person dive medicine, and refund every dollar.
“I’m a PADI certified diver myself, with dives logged in Belize, Hawaii and Bali. I read your questionnaire knowing what the open water asks of a body — and every form is signed under my own name, NPI and state license. If I can’t clear you safely online, I refer you and you don’t pay.”
A short intake for the questions you flagged, plus your relevant records.
A scheduled visit of about 15 minutes with Dr. Kawalek.
The completed RSTC Physician’s Evaluation Form lands in your inbox. Go dive.
Signed under a named physician’s own license and NPI, with a verification code the shop can check. Not a receipt, not a PDF of your answers — the completed evaluation.

The physician reviews what you send in advance, so the visit is a conversation and not a form-filling exercise.
With Dr. Kawalek himself — a named, board-certified physician, not a queue.
The completed Physician’s Evaluation Form, under his own license and NPI, with a verification code your dive shop can check. It is the dive medical certificate resorts and liveaboards ask to see.
If you cannot be safely cleared online, you get the referral and every dollar back, automatically, without asking.
The physician’s judgment on your records decides every case.
Dr. Kawalek holds active licenses in 29 states. You book from the state you’ll physically be in during your video visit. Not listed yet? Leave your email and we’ll tell you when your state opens.
It is the standard Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire used by PADI, SSI, NAUI and most training agencies worldwide. If you answer yes to any screening question, the dive shop cannot train you until a physician completes and signs the Physician’s Evaluation Form. That signed form is what DiveSlip provides.
