ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISKS
I understand that snorkeling involves risks, including:
• Immersion, inhaling water, and breathing difficulty
• Currents, waves, and separation from the group
• Fatigue, cold water, and sun exposure
• Contact with reefs, rocks, marine life, or vessels
• Slips or injury at ladders and shore entry points
I understand that these examples do not describe every possible risk.

☐ I will use required flotation equipment and follow the designated-area instructions.
☐ I will signal for assistance if uncomfortable and return when staff instruct me to.

If signing as a parent or guardian, I confirm my authority to consent to the named minor’s participation. This consent does not release rights that applicable law does not allow a parent or guardian to waive.

Questions to settle

Review before you publish.

Can a non-swimmer join after signing the waiver?

A signature does not establish eligibility. Apply the operator's participation requirements and assessment process, and explain passenger-only options if offered. Do not use consent as a substitute for swimming capability.

Should snorkelers use the scuba waiver?

Describe the activity actually offered. Surface snorkeling has different equipment, training expectations, and supervision from scuba. A dedicated version helps guests understand the relevant water and boat-travel responsibilities.

Does this include freediving below the surface?

This structure is for surface snorkeling. If you offer freediving or breath-hold instruction, define that separate program, its risks, and its professional procedures rather than treating it as an incidental extension.
