Effective Date: July 14, 2026
The following disclaimers apply to your use of the SCUBA Host website at scubahost.com (the “Site”) and to your participation in any courses, training, guided dives, scuba trips, or related activities offered by SCUBA Host (“SCUBA Host,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site or participating in our activities, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these disclaimers.
1. Assumption of Risk of Scuba Diving
Scuba diving and related water activities are inherently dangerous and involve risks that cannot be entirely eliminated, including but not limited to drowning, decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, barotrauma, hypothermia, marine life injuries, equipment failure, and other serious injuries or death. You understand and voluntarily accept these risks when you participate in any activity organized, guided, or promoted by SCUBA Host. Participation is entirely voluntary and undertaken at your own risk.
2. No Guarantee of Safety or Outcomes
While SCUBA Host follows recognized training standards and takes reasonable measures to promote participant safety, we do not and cannot guarantee that any activity will be free from risk of injury or death. We make no guarantee that you will pass any certification course or achieve any particular skill level.
3. Medical Fitness and Personal Responsibility
Scuba diving requires good physical and mental health. You are responsible for ensuring that you are medically fit to dive and for accurately disclosing all relevant health conditions. SCUBA Host is not a medical provider, and nothing on this Site or in our courses constitutes medical advice. You should consult a qualified physician before participating in any diving activity. You are responsible for following all safety instructions, dive-plan limits, and the directions of instructors and divemasters at all times.
4. Informational Content Only
The content on this Site, including course descriptions, diving tips, articles, and other materials, is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional, in-person instruction from a certified scuba instructor, nor for professional medical, legal, or safety advice. You should not rely on Site content as your sole source of guidance for any dive.
5. No Warranties
The Site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, SCUBA Host and its owners, employees, instructors, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or participation in our activities, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Florida law.
7. Third-Party Content and Links
The Site may reference or link to third-party products, services, or websites. Such references do not constitute an endorsement, and SCUBA Host is not responsible for the accuracy, content, or practices of any third party.
8. Waiver and Release
Participation in SCUBA Host diving activities may require you to sign a separate written waiver, release of liability, and assumption-of-risk agreement in accordance with Florida law. These online disclaimers supplement, and do not replace, any such signed agreement.
9. Governing Law
These disclaimers are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these disclaimers shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Florida.
