PADI documents – do you know what you sign?

When you start your PADI course very dive center requires to read and sign standard documents. Here you can find some explanation – what and why you should sign them.   Liability Release – This document explains the risks of scuba diving to the participant and is designed as a contract. The diver agrees to assume the risks and accepts something can and may go wrong. None of us are perfect, and when entering a foreign environment with life support equipment, things do happen. Non-agency Acknowledgment – This form explains that PADI Member businesses are not owned by PADI, that dive pros are not employees of PADI, and PADI does not and cannot control the day-to-day operations and decisions of diving business. PADI is not involved in the decisions about whether or not to dive a particular day, the dive site, or what staff members are assigned for a particular duty. That is dive company business. Safe Diving Practices Statement – This document is designed to inform divers of their responsibility to dive safely – not only while a student diver, but after certification as well. The diver’s signature on this form confirms s/he is aware of their responsibility as a diver, and failure to adhere to safe practices could place the diver at increased risk. The Medical Statement discusses the risks of diving and asks the diver to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions. A ‘yes’ answer requires the approval of a physician before participating in any in-water activities. The form also advises the diver to consult with a physician “on a regular basis” after completing the course. Before you decide to take part in the course, read the Medical Statement, to make sure you can dive safely (find it here...

Safari wreck a happy ending :)

Successfully we completed another safari for technical divers on Java Sea. On Nov. 18, in Surabaya, a group of experienced divers from Australia checked-in, whose aim was to find a few wrecks from The Second World War. Our goal was ambitious, but realistic to achieve. Where we have been diving? Maigen Maru – 178 m, japanese cargo ship; depth 52-68 m HMS Electra – british distroyer – approx. 220 m long; depth 48-58 m Benclun – british freighter; 140 m long; 69-80 m depth Augustina – british tanker; 25-48 m depth British freighter from the 2nd war, approx. 80 m long in very good shape; 60 m depth + Encounter – dutch war ship; front part approx 70 m remained Meratus Mas – indonesian tanker 130 m long; depth 45 – 67 m Itsukushima – hudge japanese minelayer; 72-88 m depth. The Empress has proved to be perfectly adapted to technical diving and requirements of technical and rebreather divers. The elevator, the roomy air bar, probe 3D, all tanks of different capacities, gas mixtures tailored to the requirements – all of it made the immersions comfortable and safe. Feel free to see some...
