As I was sitting here in front of my pc this wonderful Saturday morning....putting off the inevitable two acre grass cutting chore.....I found a thread that caused my warped mind to wonder.
There is a thread on here that the guy asks does anyone know of a dive operation in a specific area that allows you to "wander off" on your own and not give you a hard time about it.
I have been on boat dives where if you didnt keep up....or wandered off on your own... you got "spoken to" once back on the boat.
But, before I ever got on a boat I had to sign a waiver saying I am responsible for my actions and they ....the dive ops....has no responsibility at all should anything happen to me.
That got me wondering, if I have to sign a waiver ....and if I have to follow the leader....then I am not doing what I would normally do...I am doing what THEY want me to do....and how can THEY absolve themselves of all responsibility??
Pls dont make this into a solo dive thread or legal mumbo jumbo thread....it was just a thought.
Now to go cut the grass.
