The Divers . No check is made of divers qualification or fitness to dive. Diving is a potentially hazardous sport and should only be undertaken by suitably trained people. The skipper reserves the right to refuse to allow a diver into the water.

Supervision . This will be of a limited nature. Help and advice on dive times can only be given in general as it is up to divers themselves to decide on dive plans. BSAC and PADI dive tables are available.

Diver List . A list of divers names will be required on the day of the diving along with an emergency contact telephone number.

Liability . The boat and skipper are fully insured for third party liability while you are aboard, you are not insured when in the water. Equipment you may loose or damage onboard is not covered. You are asked to beware when boarding or leaving the vessel.

Oxygen . The boat carries oxygen and the skipper is trained to use it. The standard operational procedure for the administration of oxygen is that if a diver goes on to oxygen the skipper will inform the Coastguard that the diver is receiving first aid. The CG will then make the decision as to whether the casualty stays on the boat or is taken off. Oxygen is first aid and the skipper is under instructions to follow this course of action.
