General Liability Release and Express Assumption of Risk

For ALL courses/specialty training programs under sanction through PADI, SDI/TDI, NAUI, HSA or DAN: 

Please read carefully, fill in all blanks and initial each paragraph before signing at bottom.

I hereby affirm that I have been advised and thoroughly informed of the inherent hazards of Scuba diving activities. 

I Agree

Further, I understand that diving with compressed air or oxygen enriched air (nitrox) involves certain inherent risks including decompression sickness, embolism, oxygen toxicity, inert gas narcosis, marine life injuries or other barotraumas/hyperbaric injuries can occur that require treatment in a recompression chamber. I further understand that the open water diving trips, which are necessary for training and certification, may be conducted at a site that is remote, either by time of distance or both from such a recompression chamber. I still choose to proceed with such instructional dives in spite of the possible absence of a recompression chamber in proximity to the dive site.


I understand and agree that neither my Instructor(s), whether SCUBA Network, freelance, independent, or any affiliated instructors, the facility through which I received my instruction, SCUBA NETWORK, SCUBA DIVERS, INC; SCUBA Network Stores Inc. D/B/A SCUBA Network, its Franchisees, Employees or agents and/or its affiliated instructors, International Training, SDI, TDI and SCUBA Diving International, NAUI, PADI, nor the officers, directors, shareholders, affiliated companies, employees, agents, or assigns of the above listed entities and/or individuals, nor the authors of any materials including texts and tables expressly used for training and certification (hereinafter referred to as “Released Parties”) may be held liable or responsible in any way for any injury, death, or other damages to me or my family, heirs, or assigns that my occur as a result of my participation in this diving class or as a result of the negligence of any party, including the Released Parties, whether passive or active.


In consideration of being allowed to enroll in this course, I hereby personally assume all risks in connections with said course, for any harm, injury, or damage that may befall me while I am enrolled as a student of this course, including all risks connected therewith, whether foreseen or unforeseen.


I further agree to save, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless said course and Released Parties from any claim or lawsuit by me, anyone purporting to act on my behalf, my family, estate, heirs or assigns, arising directly or indirectly out of my enrollment and participation in this course including both claims arising during the course or after I receive my certification even if such claims may be groundless, false or fraudulent.


I also understand that diving activities are physically strenuous and that I will be exerting myself during this diving course, and that if I am injured as a result of heart attached, panic, hyperventilation, oxygen toxicity, inert gas narcosis, drowning, etc. that I expressly assume the risk of said injuries and that I will not hold the above listed individuals or companies responsible for the same, and I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless said course and Released Parties for any such injuries incurred by me.


I understand that these activities may place me deeper than I am able to safely execute a free (without breathing gas) ascent from.


I understand that I may be required to furnish my own equipment and that I am responsible for its operating condition and maintenance.


I further state that I am of lawful age and legally competent to sign this liability release, or that I have acquired the written consent of my parent or guardian.


I understand that the terms herein are contractual and not a mere recital and that I have signed this document of my own free act. Further that I understand and agree that, in the event that one or more of the provisions of this agreement, for any reason, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein.


Non-Agency Disclosure and Acknowledgment Agreement

I understand and agree that PADI Members (“Members”), including and/or any individual PADI Instructors and Dive masters associated with the program in which I am participating, are licensed to use various PADI Trademarks and to conduct PADI training, but are not agents, employees or franchisees of PADI Americas, Inc, or its parent, subsidiary and affiliated corporations (“PADI”). I further understand that Member business activities are independent, and are neither owned nor operated by PADI, and that while PADI establishes the standards for PADI diver training programs, it is not responsible for, nor does it have the right to control, the operation of the Members’ business activities and the day-to-day conduct of PADI programs and supervision of divers by the Members or their associated staff. I further understand and agree on behalf of myself, my heirs and my estate that in the event of an injury or death during this activity, neither I nor my estate shall seek to hold PADI liable for the actions, inactions or negligence of Scuba Network and/or the instructors and dive masters associated with the activity.


IT IS THE INTENTION OF ALL PEOPLE ON THIS WAIVER BY THIS INSTRUMENT TO EXEMPT AND RELEASE MY INSTRUCTORS, SCUBA NETWORK AND ALL OTHER RELATED ENTITIES AND RELEASED PARTIES AS DEFINED ABOVE, FROM ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOVER FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR WRONGFUL DEATH HOWEVER CAUSED, OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMTED TO, THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, WHETHER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE. I HAVE FULLY INFORMED MYSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS LIABILITY RELEASE AND EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK BY READING IT BEFORE SIGNING IT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY HEIRES.


This document is required for all courses and specialties. No alteration, changes, omissions or revisions may be made.
