Date Of Birth. This is required in order to
calculate when medicals are due, because the interval between medicals is
dependent on age.
Try Dive Date of try dive. This is useful if you want to track the number
of try dives you perform over a given period or want to send follow up letters
to people who did try dives but didn’t join.
Medical Date of last medical. If the D.O.B. and the date of last medical
are known then the date the next medical is due can be calculated. This
calculation is performed each time the Diver record changes, and if the medical
is due in the next month or overdue then the date is highlighted in the divers
list. Dive Data 2000 uses the guidelines recommended by the UK certifying
agencies which is every five years to age 40, then every three years to age 50
and thereafter annually.
Joining Date the Diver originally joined the branch. This is useful to
track information such as the diver who has been a member for longest, or which
people were on the same learn to dive course.
