Scuba Diving Policy & Procedures
Welcome to the Chasin’ Tide Charters! We will do everything possible to make sure all of your experiences are safe and enjoyable. All members of the Chasin’ Tide Dive Team are committed to your safety and dive enjoyment. However, it is each divers sole responsibility to ensure he/she possesses all the necessary skills, training, equipment and insurance required of ocean diving. Make sure before your dive all of your equipment is properly maintained, serviced and in perfect working order. This is your responsibility, and if you have any doubts, DO NOT DIVE.
Diving is a wonderful sport, but not without risks. YOUR safety while diving is YOUR responsibility. You are under your own care, custody and control while diving.
