BIG BLUE DIVE BOAT – BIG BLUE DIVE BOAT LLC, RED ALERT DIVING, BLUE GRAVITY LLC
DIVE TRIP - ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY WITH COVID ADDITION

I understand that established safe practices for skin and scuba diving include but are not limited to the following:

(initial below)

  1. I should never skin or scuba dive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and I must be in good physical and mental health.

  2. I should never dive alone or with a person I have not thoroughly discussed the dive plan with and each of us has reviewed one another's diving equipment and emergency procedures before the dive. I also know that teams of three or more divers are not recommended. 

  3. I should always dive with a buoyancy control device that has a power inflation system, a depth gauge, submersible pressure gauge and a timing device. 

  4. I should adjust weights to maintain neutral buoyancy with no air in my buoyancy control device at the surface of the water and position weights to keep the quick-release buckle centered and accessible at all times. 

  5. I should never dive in conditions I do not feel comfortable with or exceed my physical ability. 

  6. I should surface with my pre-planned minimum gas in my air/gas tank and never stay underwater until my air/gas supply is exhausted. 

  7. I should make all dives “no decompression” dives, unless properly trained and certified as a tec diver doing decompression diving. I should be proficient with the use of a dive table and/or a dive computer, and properly pre-plan each dive with exposure, decompression and gas strategies. 

  8. I understand that upon anchoring at each dive site the boat skipper or the dive master will describe the location, pointing out its features and special points of concern, such as areas of rapid depth change (drop-offs), possible current, etc. I know I should be aware of the known features of the dive site, and if they are not clear to me, I will ask for more information. I am responsible for having my questions answered prior to entering the water. 

  9. I am responsible for knowing all fish and game regulations relating to any fish or game that I do take.

  10. I understand that the boat skipper will make the final selection of dive locations based upon weather and water conditions and I will abide by their selection.

  11. I understand that photos or video may be taken of me while on the boat and displayed on social media for promotional use.

REBREATHER DIVERS ONLY:

I hereby affirm that I have been trained and I am certified to operate the specific rebreather equipment that I am using today on the Big Blue dive boat with Big Blue Dive Boat LLC, Red Alert Diving, Blue Gravity LLC. I will operate the equipment according to manufacturer specifications and training agency standards.


I acknowledge that I understand the importance and purpose of these established practices and my responsibility to adhere to them.

I agree to release Big Blue, Big Blue Dive Boat LLC, Red Alert Diving, Blue Gravity LLC, their employees and agents, the owner(s) of Big Blue, Big Blue Dive Boat LLC, Red Alert Diving, Blue Gravity LLC, and its employees' and agents, the dive master(s) and anyone I dive with from any and all responsibility or liability for any and all injuries or damages to persons or property. I agree NOT to make a claim against or sue any of the above parties for injuries or damages whether it arises or results from any NEGLIGENCE or other liability, whether passive or active, including the use of diving equipment and tanks (loaned and/or rented from Big Blue) and air/gas fills. 

I am fully aware that snorkeling or diving with compressed air/gas involves certain risks and that injuries or death can occur. Such risks include, but may not be limited to, decompression sickness, slipping and falling while on board, being cut or struck by a boat while in the water, injuries occurring while getting on or off a boat, and other perils of the sea. Despite the nature and risks associated with snorkeling or diving with compressed air/gas, I wish to proceed and I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ACCEPT AND EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, that may arise from my participation in this activity.  I have no physical, medical, or mental restrictions that would limit or prohibit my ability to engage in this activity.

I further agree that if I am involved in an underwater accident that the skipper or dive master may require that I be evacuated to a hyperbaric chamber and that I am responsible for all associated expenses.

I understand that dives on this trip may be conducted at locations remotely located by time and/or distance from such a hyperbaric chamber and nonetheless agree to proceed with this dive trip. 

    (If minor, parent or legal guardian has read this agreement, understands it, and agrees to be bound to it for themselves and minor child).
