DISCLAIMER

The website publisher warns the reader there are inherent risks, hazards and dangers of recreational snorkelling, freediving and/or scuba diving (diving).

The underwater environment is alien to human beings and as a consequence, diving is a risk inherent adventure activity which exposes participants to the risk of serious injury or death.

Many of the physiological effects on the human body due to the underwater environment and the pressure changes experienced whilst diving is not properly understood.

The long-term effects of diving on the human body are generally either not known or not properly understood and there may be adverse health effects on the human body resulting from diving which are presently unknown or not fully known.

No decompression table or diving computer is completely safe and despite observance of safe diving practices, including diving within the tables or in accordance with the dive computer calculations, there is an inherent risk of developing decompression illness.

Communication under water is limited to hand signals and as a consequence of reduced visibility or separation, communication between divers may be difficult or not possible.

Diving can involve strenuous physical exertion under certain conditions which may include swimming underwater or on the surface against a current or tidal stream or in rough seas over long distances.

The taking of various medications or drugs may have adverse health effects resulting from pressure changes associated with diving. These are or may be unknown and medical advice should be obtained from an appropriately qualified diving (hyperbaric) doctor.

It is understood that the reader nevertheless wishes to participate in diving activities and willingly accepts and expressly assumes all such risks, hazards and dangers and will not hold the website publisher or author liable.
