who
have requested to be on the list. The Sand Eaters and it's
members are not
responsible for you, your equipment, you're being teamed up
with another
diver, or your safety. You and you alone are solely responsible
for your
diving activities!
Your participation is voluntary. You are the only one who decides
whether
you dive. The Sand Eaters make no claim to the suitability of
the location
and are not responsible for dive conditions. Conditions change
and there will be occasions where a chosen location will not be suitable
for diving upon arriving at
the site.
