Yes, though by checking in divers and wrist banding them at their cert level, you can create an argument that it created a duty of care. That they should've also had people at the water ensuring that no one gets in with scuba equipment unless they had a wrist band.
Sad to hear this, but sadly not surprised. It seems there's this bizarre expectation the property owners/managers are obligated to, figuratively speaking, stand outside policing adults and consistently ready to apply 'bubble wrap' measures to them.Let's remember the suit that almost bankrupted the NSS-CDS because they did not do a good enough job keeping unqualified divers out of a cave.
I'm curious what would have to happen in the U.S. to make it standard legal practice that properly informed adults are responsible for the consequences of their own choices?
