INSURANCE
Travel Insurance may provide extra protection for unexpected traveling problems. These problems could result from accident, illness, airline bankruptcy, lost luggage, cancelled or interrupted trip. Travel Insurance is available at an additional cost and is highly recommended. Scuba Connection is not an insurance company. As insurance coverage and premiums may differ from company to company, it is your responsibility to review the insurance coverage provided to determine the nature and extent of insurance coverage. Scuba Connection strongly encourages the purchase of DAN (Divers Alert Network) insurance for dive emergencies. I recognize that the decision to purchase insurance, and what insurance, if any, to purchase, is my decision alone.

1. Scuba Connection acts only as agent for the carrier, hotel or other facility providing the travel, accommodations and other travel services, and as such, the sole financial responsibility of Scuba Connection to me for any travel related problems I may experience is limited to the amount of commissions (if any) it received from said suppliers. Scuba Connection is not responsible for loss or damage to my luggage or dive equipment.
2. The airlines have a baggage and carry-on policy. Check with the airlines concerning their restrictions and possible charges for overweight baggage. (This item only applies when air travel is included in the package)
3. Certain environmental, travel or weather conditions, beyond the control of Scuba Connection, may affect the travel arrangements and/or dive operation and are not the responsibility of Scuba Connection.
4. Travelers who are traveling with something other than US Nationals Proof of Citizenship, must be aware of proper traveling documents—i.e. : Visas.

DIVER RESPONSIBILITY/WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
1. If I am not yet a certified diver, I have reviewed all written dive training materials and have successfully completed all pool and classroom requirements within the past 6 months. If I am a certified diver, I have proof of a current certification card from a recognized certifying training agency.
2. If a dive destination is located outside the continental United States and I should incur a dive related injury or affliction, I realize that the medical care and assistance from both a diagnostic and treatment standpoint, may be nonexistent or may be substandard to that provided in the United States. I also recognize and understand that Scuba Connection makes no warranties or representations concerning the existence or quality of any suggested or recommended medical facilities for treating individuals with dive afflictions or injuries or the existence or quality of medical personnel trained in the diagnosis and treatment of dive afflictions or injuries.
3. I understand the importance of not drinking alcoholic beverages or taking medication before, after or in connection with diving activities. The result of such conduct may cause or predispose me to certain medical conditions and dive afflictions, including but not limited to, decompression sickness and/or air embolism.
4. The dive tables which I may use or may be employed by others in connection with my dive may not be applicable to myself. Should I make a decompression or a non-decompression dive within those dive tables, I recognize that I may still incur a dive injury or affliction, including but not limited to, decompression sickness or air embolism. Scuba Connection highly recommends that all divers use their own dive computer for a safer dive.
5. Certain medical conditions may not be conducive to scuba diving. I represent that I have sought the advice of a physician before diving and said physician has advised me that there is no medical reason preventing me from scuba diving.
6. Scuba Connection makes no representations concerning the quality, care or instruction of any dive tour operator or employee nor any dive equipment which may be provided or arranged by Scuba Connection in the dive tour operation. I also recognize and understand that Scuba Connection makes no warranties or representations concerning the location, existence or quality of any suggested, recommended or mandatory first-aid equipment, including but not limited to, recompression chambers to be used in case of a dive injury or affliction.
7. Scuba Connection requires that all divers be equipped with at least the following scuba equipment: buoyancy control device; low pressure inflator; submersible pressure gauge; regulator; alternate air source; dive tables or dive computer; timing device; and depth gauge.
8. After diving, I should consult the applicable standards to determine how long I must wait before flying.
9. Due to unforeseeable circumstances Scuba Connection reserves the right to terminate trips and or service at our sole discretion.
