Bloodwork, Urinalysis, and Chest X-Ray

Today I went to Stadacona Hospital to get my bloodwork, urinalysis, and chest X-Ray done for my phase II dive medical. Both Phase I and Phase II of the dive medical are done at Mogg5 sickbay (next to the submarines), but these tests need to be completed prior to completing your PhaseII.
These medicals are only one part of a list of things you need to do before you start your course and you should give yourself about two months to do it all. Phase II medical, in particular, takes a long time to book. You also need to book a Dive Dental Exam at Stad Hospital, certain interviews with your ship's dive officer, and you need to be tested at the compression chamber at the dive unit in Shearwater (after you complete Phase II). You will also need an up to date express test to state that you have at least met the Cf standards for your age group. Currently, they are working on a new, more dive specific test, but it could be a while until that is decided upon and until then, there is no dive standard for the express test.
