Liability Release

By agreeing to the conditions in this liability release, I affirm that I have been advised and informed of the inherent hazards of scuba diving. I understand that scuba diving utilizes compressed air, which involves certain inherent risks; decompression sickness, embolism, or any hyperbaric injuries can occur which require treatment in a recompression chamber. I further understand that the scuba dive may take place at a site too far from a recompression chamber in distance or time. I still choose to participate in the tour in spite of the possible absence of a recompression chamber in proximity to the dive site.

I understand that neither my scuba guide or scuba tour operator (Ocean Vibes), or any of the respective employers, officers, agents or assigns of the scuba tour operator or manufacturer (hereafter referred to as "Released Parties") may be held liable or responsible in any way for any injury, death, or other damage to me or my family, heirs, or assigns that may occur as a result of my participation in the scuba tour or as a result of the negligence of any party, including the Released Parties, whether passive or active or as a result of product defect or failure of any sort.

In consideration of being allowed to participate in the scuba tour, I hereby save and hold harmless said tour and I personally assume all risks in connection with said tour for any harm, injury, or damage that may befall me while I am participating in the tour, including all risks connected therewith, whether foreseen or unforeseen.

I also understand that scuba diving can be a physically strenuous activity and that I will be exerting myself during the tour and that if I am injured as a result of heart attack, panic, hyperventilation, etc., that I expressly assume the risk of said injuries and that I will not hold the Released Parties responsible for the same.

I understand that the tour operator is designed to provide me with a safe introduction to breathing underwater. This tour is not intended to train me as a competent diver. I further understand and agree that I must be thoroughly instructed in a certification course under direct supervision of a qualified instructor to become a certified, competent diver.

I further state that I am of lawful age and legally competent to agree to this liability release. I understand that the terms herein are contractual and not mere recital; and that I have agreed to this liability release of my own free act.

I understand that if any portion of this liability release is found to be invalid or inapplicable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that portion shall be severed and the balance of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

BY THIS DOCUMENT, I AGREE TO EXEMPT AND RELEASE MY SCUBA GUIDE AND ALL RELEASED PARTIES AS DEFINED ABOVE FROM ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR WRONGFUL DEATH HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, WHETHER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE OR AS A RESULT OF PRODUCT DEFECT OR FAILURE OF ANY SORT.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE ALSO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT MAY POSE A RISK FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE SCUBA TOUR.

I HAVE FULL INFORMED MYSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS LIABILITY RELEASE BY READING IT BEFORE INDICATING MY ASSENT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY HEIRS.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY ME OR MY PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE AGAINST ANY RELEASED PARTY WILL BE DISMISSED WITHOUT TRIAL.
