Complete waiver

Illustrative signing preview. Your published form reflects the fields and wording you choose.

01
Diver and booked program
Identify the diver, booking, and activity: introductory experience, instruction, or guided diving. Specify boat or shore access and the intended supervision.
02
Training and experience information
Collect the program-relevant certification details, recent experience, or student status. Staff verify requirements separately rather than treating a declaration as proof.
03
Dive scope and risks
Describe the planned environment, depth range, equipment configuration, and water access. Include immersion, pressure-related injuries, and remoteness from appropriate medical facilities.
04
Equipment and dive responsibilities
Explain equipment fitting, problem reporting, buddy arrangements, and following the dive briefing. Reference separate rental records for equipment assignment and condition.
05
Screening and emergency process
Direct divers to the approved medical questionnaire and required follow-up. Collect emergency contacts while keeping medical evaluation with the appropriate professionals.
06
Required releases and consent
Use the forms required by the program and reviewed operator language. Identify the participant or guardian without replacing mandatory training-agency documents.

Define introductory, training, and certified-diver activities accurately
02
Confirm the current documents required by your training agency and program
03
Match risks to the actual environment, access method, and equipment
04
Keep medical screening, verification, and rental records separately identifiable
05
Have counsel and your insurer review operator-specific releases and guardian wording

Questions to settle

Review before you publish.

Can this template replace a PADI, SDI, or other agency form?

No. It is an operator planning blueprint. Use the current documents required by your agency and program, including any restrictions on changing them, and obtain review for additional operator wording.

Does every participant need to be a certified diver?

Requirements depend on the booked program. Introductory and student experiences have their own eligibility and supervision rules. Identify the activity accurately and have staff verify the applicable requirements.

Does a signature provide medical clearance to dive?

No. Follow the approved screening form and any required professional evaluation. FlexWaiver records consent; it does not evaluate medical fitness, resolve flagged answers, or replace the program's participation decision.
