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.

 

Mackenzie Smith Law’s professional liability specialists have a high degree of expertise in advising and handling professional liability claims in respect of diving accidents. MSL’s diving law specialists have particular strength in advising on:

  • Novice divers’legal rights
  • Defective equipment liability
  • Dive shop or charter company negligence
  • Dive excursion financial disputes
  • Instructor/ Dive Master negligence
  • Professional divers’employment rights
  • Liability waivers and releases
  • Treasure and salvage law
