Diving Excursion Risks
We are excited to have you join us, but feel compelled to point out some of the risks involved in going to sea on one of our ships.
On a voyage likes this, we are always at the whim of Mother Ocean. All of our ships are equipped with the latest in satellite technology, full time data links, internet at sea and marine radios. We can’t control the weather but we can monitor the forecasts very carefully and our shoreside management team is in constant contact with the ships and available 24/7 in case of emergencies. We need you to be aware that there is always a risk of adverse weather, mechanical breakdown, errors or mistakes made by our crew, medical evacuations or other interruptions to your trip that are beyond our control.
Guests are responsible for their own dive safety. Our guides are not responsible for teaching primary dive skills or looking after guests who do not have basic buoyancy skills. Diving with marine animals entails risk. Scuba divers risk embolism, dehydration or other medical issues. Guests and crew alike are susceptible to accidents, tripping and falling, sprains or broken bones, heart attacks, stroke or medical conditions such as appendicitis, pancreatitis, diabetic complications, severe infections, abcesses or other emergency conditions.
Diving with marine animals entails risk. This is not Disneyland! Scuba divers risk embolism, decompression sickness, dehydration or other medical issues. Guests and crew alike are susceptible to accidents, tripping and falling, sprains or broken bones, heart attacks, stroke or medical conditions such as appendicitis, pancreatitis, diabetic complications, severe infections, abcesses or other emergency conditions.
We sincerely hope that none of our guests will ever have a medical emergency, but in the highly unlikely event that one occurs, we will provide basic first aid and arrange for medical consultation and a medevac. It’s vitally important that you have insurance to cover these costs. We cannot cover them ourselves. Click here to purchase a policy. The coverage is very reasonably priced.
