Complete Liability Release

1. I understand the purpose of signing this document is to exempt and release Key Largo Dive Center, LLC, Florida Dive Boat Partners Inc,  its employees, agents, Key Largo Diver II, and dive boats, including those boats operated, leased or chartered, or boarded (hereinafter referred to collectively as the released parties) from any and all liabilities arising as a consequence of their own negligence or gross negligence or otherwise.


2. I am a certified scuba diver or a student diver under the direct supervision of an instructor and have been taught and understand scuba diving has inherent risks and dangers associated herewith including, but not limited to, risks associated therewith, equipment failure, perils of the sea, acts of fellow divers and I specifically assume such risks.


3. I understand that Dive Insurance is highly recommended and requested by the parties in paragraph #1 above. I understand that I have the opportunity to purchase Dive Insurance (as offered through third parties such as, but not limited to, Divers Alert Network) prior to undertaking dive activities and if I choose not to purchase Dive Insurance it is entirely my choice.


4. I acknowledge that I am physically fit to scuba dive and snorkel, and I will not hold Key Largo Dive Center, LLC, Florida Dive Boat Partners Inc, its employees, agents, Key Largo Diver II or any party mentioned in Paragraph #1 above responsible if I am injured or die as a result of, but not limited to:  heart problems, lung problems, embolism, edima, or other illnesses or medical problems which occur while diving and/or snorkeling. I meet the NAUI, PADI and/or Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) medical requirements. I shall not hold any party named in Paragraph #1 above liable for any injury or death. 


5. I do not have in my possession any illegal drugs, nor am I taking, nor have I recently taken, any drugs or medications that would contraindicate diving. I certify that I meet the PADI/NAUI/RSTC medical requirements for diving or have a doctor's signed waiver..


 

6. Prior to leaving the dock I will inspect all of my equipment to be used. I will notify Key Largo Dive Center, LLC, if any of my equipment is not functioning properly. I certify that all of my personally owned/provided scuba equipment has been serviced in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations or it will not be used for dive activities. If using my personal scuba cylinders I understand they must be within current Hydro and VIP timelines or they shall not be brought onboard the dive boat..


7. I will be present at and attentive to the safety briefing given by the boat captain and/or mate and if there is anything I do not understand or have been taught differently, I will notify the boat captain and/or divemaster and/or instructor immediately.


8. If a certified diver, I understand that I have a duty to plan and conduct my own dives and to be responsible for my own safety and the safety of my dive buddy. I will remain with my dive buddy at all times in the water. If my buddy or I need to return to the boat then both of us shall return to the boat until both are safely onboard. Although Dive Instructors or Divemasters or other Dive Professionals may be on the boat with other students or divers, unless you are a student assigned to one of them they are not responsible for monitoring your dive planning, air consumption, air remaining, or dive navigation.


 

9. Although a dive guide may be provided and available to guide your dive, the dive guide is not responsible for monitoring your air consumption or to plan your dive. You may decide to accompany the dive guide but it is your responsibility to monitor your own air consumption and quantity remaining.


10. 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 scuba cylinder. Should I return with less than 500 PSI remaining in my cylinder I understand that I may be charged for a Visual Cylinder Inspection to inspect for the presence of water in the cylinder and any cost associated with the cleaning or replacement of the cylinder if not serviceable.


I will immediately stop my dive if:

  • I feel uncomfortable with my diving abilities and/or
  • Diving conditions are worse than I have been trained or for which I have experience.


11. I am aware of the dangers of holding my breath while diving and of the dangers associated with rapid ascents.


12. If I become distressed at the surface, I will immediately drop my weight belt and inflate my BCD for permanent flotation assistance and if I want or need assistance from the boat, I will give the proper “diver in trouble” signal.


13. I fully understand and am aware that the dive boat has limited medical first aid supplies and that in the event of illness or injury, appropriate medical care must be summoned by radio and that treatment will be delayed until I can be transported to a proper medical facility.


14. It is my intention by this instrument to give up my right to sue the released parties and it is also my intention to exempt and relieve Key Largo Dive Center, LLC, its employees, agents, and dive boats, whether owned, operated, leased, or chartered (the hereinabove referred to released parties) from any and all liability for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death caused by negligence or gross negligence of the released parties or otherwise, and I assume all risk in connection with these snorkeling and/or scuba diving activities.


15. I authorize the use of my image for promotion by KLDC, LLC (model release).


16. I understand I have a duty to exercise reasonable care for my own safety and agree to do so.
