COMPLETE LIABILITY RELEASE
I UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF SIGNING THIS
DOCUMENT IS TO EXEMPT AND RELEASE EMERALD CHARTERS, INC., DOWNTIME DIVING
ADVENTURES, INC. d/b/a SCUBAWORKS, ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND BOATS
(WHETHER OWNED, LEASED OR CHARTERED) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES ARISING
AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS ON THEIR PART, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE AND GROSS NEGLIGENCE WHICH MAY CAUSE ME INJURY OR DEATH.
I am a certified diver or a student
under the direct supervision of an instructor and have been taught and understand
that SCUBA diving has inherent risks and dangers associated therewith including,
but not limited to, risks associated with equipment failure, perils of the
sea, acts of fellow divers and I SPECIFICALLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS. I have been diving within
the past year or I am currently participating in a dive training course, or
I am a student under the instruction of a certified diving instructor. I acknowledge
that I am physically fit to SCUBA dive and snorkel and I will not hold Emerald
Charters, Inc., Downtime Diving Adventures, Inc. d/b/a Scubaworks, or its
owners, employees, agents or boats responsible if I am injured as a result
of heart problems, lung problems, or other illnesses or any other medical
problems which may occur while I am diving and/or snorkeling. I do not have
in my possession any illegal drugs, nor am I taking, nor have I recently consumed
any drugs or medication that would contraindicate diving. I am not under the
influence of alcohol nor am I hung over. I am aware of the dangers of holding
my breath while diving and of the dangers associated with rapid ascents and
will not hold Emerald Charters inc., Downtime Diving Adventures, Inc., d/b/a
Scubaworks or its owners, employees, agents or boats responsible for such
acts. I fully understand and I am aware that the boat has limited medical
facilities and that in the event of illness or injury, appropriate medical
help must be summoned by radio and that treatment will be delayed until I
can be transported to a proper medical care facility.
Prior to leaving the dock, I will
inspect all equipment used. I will take whatever actions are necessary to
resolve any problems with my equipment before diving with it and I will not
dive if all my equipment is not functioning properly. I will not hold Emerald
Charters, Inc., Downtime Diving Adventures, Inc., d/b/s Scubaworks, or its
owners, employees, agents or boats responsible for my failure to inspect my
equipment prior to diving. I will be present and attentive to the safety briefing
given by the divemaster and boat captain and if there is anything that I do
not understand or have been taught differently, I will notify the boat captain
immediately. I understand it is my responsibility to plan and carry out my
own dive and I agree to be responsible for my own safety. I will start my
ascent at the end of each dive with enough air to guarantee being on the boat
with a minimum of 500 PSI remaining in my tank. I will immediately abort my
dive if: (1) I feel uncomfortable with my diving abilities; and /or (2). Diving
conditions are worse than those for which I have been trained or for which
I have experience.
If I become distressed on the surface,
I will immediately drop my weight belt and inflate my B.C. for permanent flotation
assistance and if I want or need assistance from the boat, I will give the
proper “diver in trouble” signal. I will not hold Emerald Charters, Inc.,
Downtime Diving Adventures, Inc. d/b/a Scubaworks or its owners, employees,
agents, or boats responsible for failure to rescue or recover me.
