Why Dive with a Doc

Your doctor should understand what happens at depth

Most physicians have never seen a rebreather. Dr. Sholty is an Open Water, Advanced, Nitrox, and Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) certified diver — and a Navy veteran, former flight paramedic, ER nurse, and board-certified family physician with rural and emergency medicine roots.

  • Clearances follow current UHMS and DAN guidelines
  • Typically valid 12 months (or per DAN age-based recommendations)
  • Cash-pay, transparent flat fees — HSA/FSA accepted
  • Telehealth option for qualifying Basic clearances (Texas residents)
