Barrie,

I'll ask my brother if he can help...he's a lawyer (booo) and lives in Guernsey....a few boats and some diving so he may be able to get something. Not his field but he might be able to help.

He'd probably need some more info though....

I'll give him a call now.

I am a boat skipper
You are a diver

I take you there
Decide if its safe conditions to get you out of the water
I shot the wreck
I defend you from passing boats
I bring you home

Thats it

Dont ask me to suport you any more with your diving and I wont ask you how to navigate the boat.

Hows that?

they also take guests out diving and have to consider the possible implications.

After a bit you spend a grand on a Lawyer to write the disclaimer. THEN in the event of a claim you spend about 10 grand on lawyers defending the case on the basis of the disclaimer whilst half a dozen other lawyers try to tear holes in it.
