Liability Waiver & Release

Freediving NYC — organized freediving trips and training activities. By checking the waiver box on a booking form you confirm you have read, understood and accepted this waiver.

1. Assumption of risk. I understand that freediving and associated activities (breath-hold diving, depth training, boat travel, swimming in open water, cenote diving) involve inherent risks, including but not limited to hypoxic blackout, decompression issues, barotrauma, drowning, and serious injury or death. I voluntarily accept and assume all such risks.

2. Health & fitness. I confirm that I am in good physical health, have no medical conditions that make freediving unsafe for me, and accept full responsibility for my medical fitness to dive. If I am unsure, I will consult a physician before the trip.

3. Certification & experience. I confirm that my stated certification level and experience are accurate. I understand that open-water sessions are for certified freedivers, and that I am responsible for diving within my training and personal limits.

4. Insurance. I understand that dive insurance covering freediving is mandatory for this trip and that I must hold a valid policy for the full trip period.

5. Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release Freediving NYC, its instructors, coaches, partners, and venue operators from any and all claims, liabilities, or causes of action arising out of my participation in the trip or related activities.

6. Safety instructions. I agree to follow all safety instructions from the coaching team at all times, on land and in the water. I understand that the team may exclude me from any session or the trip, without refund, if my behavior endangers me or others.

7. Media. I consent to Freediving NYC using photos and videos taken during the trip for its website and social media, unless I notify the team in writing before the trip.
