Mackenzie Smith Law - Recreational Diving Law

Recreational (sport) diving throughout the world has reached a zenith. In Asia alone, there are over a million certified divers and this vibrant sport continues to grow daily. The diving community is comprised of a variety of participants, including equipment manufacturers, retailers, dive shop operators, dive boat operators, instructors, dive masters and guides.

As a result of this interplay between the diver and others in the diving community an entirely new body of law is emerging to address the rights and responsibilities of the recreational diver. Whilst specific legislation may vary from country to country, the general legal doctrine and standard of care remains constant worldwide.
