Skin and scuba diving have inherent risks which may result in serious injury or death.

Diving with compressed air involves certain inherent risks; decompression sickness, embolism or other hyperbaric injury can occur that require treatment in a recompression chamber. Open water scuba diving trips may be conducted at a site that is remote, either by time or distance, from such a recompression chamber.

In addition, during boat travel to and from dive sites, you should follow all safety instructions from the captain / crew members and take care while getting on or off the boat and while on board to avoid slipping, falling or drowning.
