BOAT TRAVEL AND SCUBA DIVING VOLUNTARY RELEASE, WAIVER, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Please read carefully, initial, and fill in all blanks before signing below.

I hereby affirm that I am a certified diver or a student under the control and supervision of a certified SCUBA instructor and that I thoroughly understand the potential risks of SCUBA diving including those hazards occurring during boat travel to and from the dive site. I understand that these hazards include, but are not limited to: decompression sickness, lung expansion injuries, drowning, slipping or 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 injuries, death, or perils of the sea. I understand and am aware that SCUBA diving can be a dangerous and physically demanding activity. I certify that I am fully aware of and expressly assume these and all other risks involved in making such a dive or dives, whether conducted as a recreational dive, specialty 3 tank charter, night dive, or as part of a diving class. Diving with compressed air involves certain inherent risks; decompression sickness, embolism or other hyperbaric injury can occur that require treatment in a recompression chamber. Open water scuba diving trips may be conducted at a site that is remote, either by time or distance, from such a recompression chamber. At this time the closest hyperbaric treatment center in the State of Hawaii is at the University Health Partners - Hyperbaric Treatment Center at the Kuakini Medical Center in Honolulu. 


I understand and agree that neither the Captain, Crew members and Instructors of Seasport Divers, nor Seasport Divers or Kainani Corp., the vessel, owners, officers, employees, agents, or assigns of the above listed individuals and/or entities (herein-after "Released Parties") may be held liable or responsible in any way for any occurrence on this dive trip which may result in personal injury, property damage, wrongful death or other damage to me or my family, heirs, or assigns that may occur as a result of my participation in this boat trip and SCUBA dive(s) or as a result of the negligence of any party, including Released Parties, whether passive or active. 


I declare that I am in good mental and physical fitness for diving, and that I am not under the influence of alcohol, nor am I under the influence of any drugs that are contraindicated to diving. If I am taking medication, I declare that I have seen a physician and have approval to dive while under the influence of the medication/drugs.


Possible Changes- I understand that the scheduled charter destinations are subject to weather and conditions, and Seasport Divers or Kainani Corp. reserve the right to cancel charters or change destination at any time. I further understand that some charters or activities may be cancelled at any time due to lack of sufficient participation. 


Certified Diver Warranty of Skill Level- If I am a participating in a dive charter as a certified diver, I warrant that I have at least the same knowledge and skill level as that of a newly certified Open Water diver. I further understand that any underwater guide service provided by Kainani Inc. dba Seasport Divers is done so solely to enhance my enjoyment and not because such guidance is required to compensate for lack of ability on my part. 


Altitude Considerations: Helicopter Tours, Driving to Koke'e / Waimea Canyon Wait a minimum surface interval of 12 hours for a single dive: 18 hours for multiple dives before flying after diving. If you plan to make daily, multiple dives for several days or make a dive requiring an emergency decompression stop, take a special precaution — it's recommended that you extend the surface interval to a minimum 24 hours prior to flying after diving. There is currently no recommendation for driving to altitude after diving. Conservatism is prudent.


I, BY THIS INSTRUMENT, DO HEREBY EXEMPT AND RELEASE ALL THE ABOVE LISTED ENTITIES AND/OR INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR WRONGFUL DEATH HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. WHETHER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPHS, FULLY UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL DANGERS INCIDENTAL TO ENGAGING IN THIS BOAT TRIP AND SCUBA DIVE(S), AM FULLY AWARE OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF SIGNING THIS INSTRUMENT, AND THAT I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS DOCUMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING AND WILL PRECLUDE ME FROM RECOVERING MONETARY DAMAGES FROM THE ABOVE LISTED ENTITIES AND/OR INDIVIDUALS. WHETHER SPECIFICALLY NAMED OR NOT, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR WRONGFUL DEATH CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OR PRODUCT LIABILITY.

Diver Medical Questionnaire

Recreational scuba diving and freediving requires good physical and mental health. There are a few medical conditions which can be hazardous while diving, listed below. Those who have, or are predisposed to, any of these conditions, should be evaluated by a physician. This Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire provides a basis to determine if you should seek out that evaluation. If you have any concerns about your diving fitness not represented on this form, consult with your physician before diving. If you are feeling ill, avoid diving. If you think you may have a contagious disease, protect yourself and others by not participating in dive training and/ or dive activities. References to “diving” on this form encompass both recreational scuba diving and freediving. This form is principally designed as an initial medical screen for new divers, but is also appropriate for divers taking continuing education. For your safety, and that of others who may dive with you, answer all questions honestly

Note to women: If you are pregnant, or attempting to become pregnant, do not dive.
