Statement of risks and Liability

RE: (1) Training & Education, (2) Rental of Scuba equipment and supply of breathing gases, (3) Guided and Organized Diving

1) This is a statement ln which you are informed of the risks of skin and scuba diving and/or using diving equipment and breathing gases independently of the dive centre.
2) This statement also sets out the circumstances in which you can participate in diving courses/activities, organise and conduct scuba diving activities at your own risk and/or hire/supply of breathing gases.
3) Your signature below is required as proof that you have read and understood this statement. If you do not understand anything contained in this statement, then please discuss it with the Dive Centre staff. If you are a minor this form must also be read and signed by a parent or guardian.
4) Warning: Skin and scuba diving have inherent risks which may result in serious injury or death. Diving with mixed gases (Nitrox, Trimix, Heliox or Helair) involves certain inherent risks of oxygen toxicity and/or improper mixtures of breathing gas. Diving with compressed air or mixed gases involves certain inherent risks; decompression sickness, embolism or other hyperbaric injury can occur that requires
treatment in a recompression chamber. Open Water diving trips which are necessary for training and certification, and Scuba diving trips, may be conducted at a site that is remote, either by time or distance or both, from such a recompression chamber. In the case of scuba equipment rental and breathing air supply, accident management remains your responsibility at all times. Skin and scuba diving are physically strenuous activities and you will be exerting yourself during these activities. You must advise truthfully and fully inform the lnstructor(s) and the Dive Centre of your medical history and of any change in your physical health during the diving activities.
5) Transportation to Sites: Land and sea transport to dive sites may be provided by the Dive Centre. Using these facilities is at your own risk and the Dive Centre, its management or staff are not responsible for any loss, damage, or injury to yourself or your property.
6) Equipment: Prior to each dive you should be familiar with all equipment supplied to you by the dive centre, and ensure that it is in good, working order. If diving with mixed gases it is your responsibility to ensure that the gases are correctly and accurately analysed and that the gas content and cylinder number are recorded in such a manner as to be easily identified at any time. You should not offer the use of diving equipment (including cylinders and regulators) to other persons or entities under any circumstances.
7) Dive Planning and Personal Risk Assessment: Whilst the management and staff of the Dive Centre will suggest dive sites, conduct a risk assessment on the sites and brief qualified divers on guided and/or organised dives, it remains your responsibility to decide whether the dive is within your qualification and/or experience level, and whether to participate in the dive or not. It ls also your responsibility to conduct a personal dive plan and equipment safety check with your diving partner. You must advise truthfully and fully inform the staff and the Dive Centre of your scuba diving certification and experience.
8) Exclusion of Liability: Notwithstanding the Dive Centre’s third party liability insurance covering dlvlng activities, neither the Dive Centre, nor it’s owners, management, and instructors contracted by the Dive Centre or the training agency, accept any responsibility for the death, injury or other loss suffered or caused by you or resulting from your own conduct or any other matter or condition under your control. Your participation in courses, scuba diving activities and/or the rental of diving equipment, supply of breathing gases and scuba diving independently of the Dive Centre is at your own risk.
9) Jurisdiction and Applicable Law: Any dispute or claim arising from the services and products offered by the Dive Centre shall fall within the jurisdiction of the courts.

  must inform the Dive Centre at least the day before the diving day in normal circumstances.
