This release applies to the fullest extent permitted by law, and is intended to cover all claims by me, my heirs, estate, assigns, and beneficiaries.

4. Assumption of Responsibility

I understand and agree that:

I am solely responsible for my personal safety, travel documentation, medical fitness, dive readiness, and equipment.
I will adhere to all laws, rules, and instructions of dive operators, guides, or other authorities.

STUART SCUBA LLC – INSURANCE, PAYMENT, AND CANCELLATION POLICY (REVISED)

1. Dive Accident Insurance

I acknowledge that:

Dive Accident Insurance may be required by the dive resort, operator, or country of travel for participation in scuba diving activities.
Stuart Scuba LLC is not liable for any medical, evacuation, or other costs arising from dive-related incidents or accidents.
While Stuart Scuba LLC cannot mandate coverage, local dive operators or resorts may refuse access to boats, cylinders, or dive operations without proof of dive insurance.
Stuart Scuba LLC strongly recommends purchasing Dive Accident Insurance from a recognized provider (e.g., DAN, DiveAssure) to cover risks associated with scuba diving, including emergency evacuation, medical treatment, and related expenses.

I agree to provide proof of coverage if requested and understand that my participation in dives may be denied without it.

2. Travel Insurance (including COVID-19 and Related Risks)

I acknowledge that:

The resort, operator, or country of the planned trip may require comprehensive travel insurance, including coverage for medical expenses, COVID-19 related costs, quarantine, trip interruption, or cancellation.
Stuart Scuba LLC is not liable for any travel-related medical or associated costs incurred during the trip.
Travel insurance is strongly recommended to protect against unforeseen events, including illness, injury, natural disasters, political unrest, or travel delays.
Outside the U.S., most U.S. medical insurance policies do not cover medical expenses, including COVID-related care. I understand that coverage for non-dive-related medical expenses should be confirmed in my chosen Dive or Travel Insurance plan.

3. Responsibility for Trip Interruptions, Failures, or Unforeseen Events

I understand and agree that:

Stuart Scuba LLC is not responsible or liable for any accident, delay, damage, inconvenience, loss, injury, death, or mental/physical distress caused by:
Mechanical failure of transport or vessels
Illness, injury, or quarantine
Natural disasters, weather events, or acts of war
Failure of third-party service providers to perform included services
Any unforeseen events, including but not limited to pandemics, epidemics, government restrictions, travel bans, or other risks not specifically identified at the time of booking
Any additional expenses incurred due to the above events are my sole responsibility. Stuart Scuba LLC will, however, make reasonable efforts to assist in addressing travel disruptions.

4. Acknowledgment and Agreement

I hereby certify that:

I have read, understand, and accept the statements in this Insurance, Payment, and Cancellation Policy.
All of my questions and concerns have been addressed to my satisfaction.
I accept that I am fully responsible for ensuring proper insurance coverage and understand the limits of liability for Stuart Scuba LLC, including unforeseen or unanticipated risks.
