I, {name-1}, hereby acknowledge that I have been informed of and fully understand the inherent dangers of snorkeling activities and of participating in a guided tour as a snorkeler.
Furthermore, I understand that snorkeling involves certain inherent risks, including but not limited to injuries from marine life, drowning, slipping and falling either on a boat or at a beach entry point, possible hazards from other watercraft or vessels in the area, or other barotrauma-related injuries such as ear or mask pressure, etc.
Such injuries may occur and may require treatment in a medical facility. I, {name-1}, also understand that snorkeling activities may take place in remote locations that are geographically and temporally isolated from such medical facilities.
Nevertheless, I choose to proceed with such snorkeling activities despite the absence of a medical facility near the snorkeling site.
I, {name-1}, understand and agree that neither the guide, dive instructor, nor any of the respective employees or assignees of DeepDiveMexico can in any way be held liable or responsible for injuries, death, or other damages to me, my family, my heirs, or assigns that may arise from my participation in this snorkeling activity, or from the negligence of any party, including the Released Parties, whether passive or active.
In consideration of being permitted to participate in this activity, I hereby personally assume all risks connected with this trip for any harm, injury, or damage that may befall me as a participant in snorkeling, including all associated risks, whether foreseen or unforeseen.
I, {name-1}, further agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the above-named Released Parties from any claims or lawsuits brought by myself, anyone acting on my behalf, my family, my estate, my heirs, or assigns, arising directly or indirectly out of my participation in snorkeling activities, including claims arising during this activity, whether such claims are groundless, false, or fraudulent.
I, {name-1}, also understand that snorkeling activities are physically demanding and that I will exert myself during this snorkeling tour, and that if I am injured as a result of heart attack, panic, hyperventilation, drowning, etc., I expressly assume the risk of these injuries and will not hold the above-mentioned persons or companies responsible, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties for such injuries suffered by me.
I, {name-1}, understand that I may be required to provide some of my own equipment and that I am responsible for its operating condition and maintenance.
I, {name-1}, understand that certain snorkeling equipment may be provided to me and that I am responsible for checking its proper function, fit, and operating condition prior to use.
I, {name-1}, further declare that I am of legal age and legally competent to sign this liability release, or that I have obtained the written consent of my parent or guardian.
I, {name-1}, understand that the terms herein are contractual and not merely declaratory, and that I have signed this document of my own free will. I further understand and agree that if any provision or provisions of this agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision, and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
By signing this document, you may be waiving your legal right to a court trial to hold the provider liable for injuries or damages resulting from the inherent risks of the sport or recreational activity, or for injuries or damages you may suffer due to the provider’s ordinary negligence.
IT IS THE INTENT OF {name-1} , BY THIS INSTRUMENT, TO RELEASE MY INSTRUCTOR/DIVEMASTER/GUIDE, THE COMPANY (DEEPDIVEMEXICO), AND ALL OTHER RELATED ENTITIES AND RELEASED PARTIES AS DEFINED ABOVE, FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR WRONGFUL DEATH, HOWEVER CAUSED, OR ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, WHETHER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE. I HAVE FULLY INFORMED MYSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS LIABILITY RELEASE AND EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK BY READING IT BEFORE SIGNING IT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY HEIRS.
