Based on my own experience diving from the PG:
- I didn't have to be seen by the ship's doctor. Those I noticed did need to were those who answered the standard PADI medical info forms with something that might raise the flags of an insurance carrier. I don't recall which items, but if you were to talk to your local dive shop or instructor, I'm sure you could get a sense of what items are involved. One thing I have heard can be a trigger is if you're diabetic.
- The Zodiacs have stern ladders for reentry at the end of the dive. So if you can handle a ladder, have no fear!
Diving on the PG is a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again this November on the Marquesas cruise!
