From oceanfloor: I never have a Divebuddy sign a liability form so I won’t be asking anyone else that joins us to sign anything either.
I agree for a shore dive. In those instances I’m just meeting a buddy in public. But a formally chartered boat in my name is another story. If someone were to have a bad accident on a boat they would probably try to sue the boat and it’s Captain, which is why ever boat I’ve been on has their own liability release waiver. My fear is that when someone goes sue crazy, they do their best to sue ALL involved parties, like grenade effect. Since I’m the one that not only picked the boat, picked the date, invited the divers by e-mail, organized the list, collected the cash, wrote the one check to the boat in MY name.....I think I might actually become a non-direct target. I’m just thinking it would be safer to have my own liability waiver in this instance, just like the boat has.
