Welcome To The Show!
Welcome to The Dive Locker Podcast, the podcast for dive professionals where we bring you the latest in diving industry resources that make you excellent at teaching techniques, risk management and dive business.
Have you ever heard the saying that a waiver and release form is not worth the paper it’s printed on? I have heard that saying for decades. I’m sure you have heard it said too. Let me ask you this, have you ever received a waiver and release form and just signed it? Without even reading it? I know I have.
So in today’s episode I want to open your eyes to the absolute important of securing properly executed waivers and releases. These instruments are designed to protect you and help you be more defendable in the case of a negligence litigation. That is a law suit against you. That is what we will be exploring in today’s episode.
