PLEASE READ AND BE CERTAIN YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF SIGNING

EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK ASSOCIATED WITH DIVING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

I do hereby affirm and acknowledge that I have been fully informed of the inherent hazards and risks associated with snorkeling, skin and/or scuba diving, and instruction related thereto ("Diving Activities"). 

I understand that these risks can lead to severe injury and even loss of life. 

I understand that diving with compressed air involves certain inherent risks; including but not limited to decompression sickness, embolism or other hyperbaric/air expansion injury that require treatment in a recompression chamber.

I understand that snorkeling, skin diving and scuba diving are physically strenuous activities and that I will be exerting myself during Diving Activities, and that if I am injured as a result of heart attack, stroke, panic, hyperventilation, drowning or any other cause, that I expressly ASSUME THE RISK of said injuries and that I will not seek to hold any other party responsible for the same.

I understand that Diving Activities may be conducted at a site that is remote, either by time or distance or both, from a recompression chamber and competent medical assistance. Despite this, I choose to proceed with these Diving Activities even in the absence of a recompression chamber and competent medical assistance. 

I understand that there are hazards and risks associated with travel to and from dive sites ("Dive Travel"), including, but not limited to the possible injury or loss of life as a result of a boating accident. 

Regardless of the potential hazards and risks associated with Diving Activities and Dive Travel, I wish to proceed and I HEREBY PERSONALLY ASSUME ALL HAZARDS AND RISKS, including possible personal injury, loss of life and/or property damage, arising out of or in connection with Diving Activities and/or Dive Travel, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may befall me while I am a participant in these activities.
