(As used herein, a “Cosigner” means a person who has signed this agreement, and who is either a prospective EOST member or a EOST  member in good standing at the relevant time.)

This is not, and will not be deemed to be, any teacher/student or instructor/trainee relationship between me and EOST. I do not hold EOST out or consider them to be in a position of superior knowledge or expertise regarding Diving or Participation. (j) I understand EOST owns no fiduciary duties to me or any duty of care relating to my Diving or Participation. I am not by virtue of my Diving or Participation an agent or employee of EOST or any Cosigner, nor is EOST or any Cosigner any agent or employee of mine. (k) I understand if I am a minor (under the age of 18) or am not my own legal guardian for any reason (collectively, a “minor”), the person executing this Agreement on my behalf has the authority under applicable law to do so and is personally responsible for me in all respects in connection with my Diving or Participation. If I am a minor or under the age of 21 years of age, I will not drink alcohol prior to, during or after Diving or Participation. (l) I understand if I consume alcohol or drugs of any kind prior to, during or after Diving or Participation, I do so solely at my own risk. (m) I agree that while this event may be located in and around various establishment and/or vehicles in which alcoholic beverages may be served or consumed, if I enter such areas, I am at least 21 years of age or I will be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and that I am not required to consume such beverages.

In the event that I do consume alcoholic beverages, all of the persons and entities mentioned above whom, through negligence or carelessness or otherwise, might be liable to me (or my heirs, executors, administrators, wards, or assigns) are not liable for my actions during or after the event. I hereby covenant not to sue and agree to assume those risks and release and hold harmless all of the persons and entities mentioned above who, through negligence or carelessness or otherwise, might be liable to me (or my heirs, executors, administrators, wards, or assigns) for damages.

(q) I understand and recognize that there may be diving or fishing practices or rules which others might consider necessary or prudent for safe diving and fishing and which have not been adopted or which are not enforced by either EOST, any Cosigner or one or more EOST members, officers or divemasters. I will not hold EOST or any EOST member or Cosigner acting in any capacity whatsoever, to enforce or adopt any particular rule or practice. This includes but is not limited to: a failure to enforce the “Buddy System”, a failure to require the use of any particular item of diving equipment, a failure to adopt or enforce a policy of canceling dives or fishing due to marine, atmospheric or other dangers, a failure to require any minimum level of diving or fishing expertise or experience for Cosigners, EOST members or prospective EOST members participating in a EOST activity. (r) I understand and recognize that one or more EOST members EOST or any Cosigner or their parties my negligently omit to give me information or may give me false or misleading information pertaining to difficulty of a dive or my ability to safely participate in or perform a dive. I recognize also that EOST or one or more EOST members, other Cosigners or third parties may negligently approve of my preparation or planning for a dive or my equipment. I agree that, despite any accurate or inaccurate information I receive or learn from anyone other than myself, or fail to receive, I alone am responsible in each instance for determining whether I can safely make a dive, whether I have sufficient and accurate information upon which to base this decision, and whether my equipment condition or my complement of equipment and my manner of wearing or using my equipment is sufficient for the dive I intend to make, (s) I fully understand and recognize that diving solo or having a diving buddy can be either an asset or a liability. For example, a buddy might not make any effort to stay with me or to look for me if we become separated, a buddy might act inappropriately or negligently in an emergency, a buddy might cause danger to themselves or to me (including failing to return to a regulator once it is offered to them), or a panicked buddy might hold me underwater without air even to the point where I might drown either near or remote from the surface. Accordingly, I alone will determine whether any proposed buddy is acceptable to me or if I use one. (t) Since I understand and recognize that any assistance I might give to a diver or other person in water results in or may result in additional risk to myself, I do not what to be obligated to assist any diver or other person, including my buddy, in any way, whether in or out of the water. I agree that EOST and any Cosigners have the same freedom. Thus, in order to herby obtain benefit of a similar express release from EOST, EOST members and any Cosigners, I agree that neither EOST nor nay Cosigner is under any obligation to assist me in any way whatsoever, either in or out of the water, or to offer me air even when I request it, or to stay with me during a diving activity, or to look for me if we become separates. I release all EOST and any Cosigner from any and all liability for negligence in assisting me or attempting to assist me and/or for discontinuing any assistance to me once it has been undertaken. 5) No Oral Modifications: This Agreement can not be modified by the parties by any means unless such modifications are made in writing. Attached to and referenced on this Agreement, and signed by a duly authorized representative of EOST. 6) Covenant Not To Sue: I, my heirs, distributes, executors, administrators, guardians, legal representatives and assignors, exempt and release the EOST and all Cosigners, their officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives, servants or shareholders, nor to initiate or assist the prosecution of any claim for damages or cause of action which I, my heirs, distributes, executors, wards, principals or administrators, hereafter may have by reason of injury to my person or my property directly or indirectly arising from or related to the activities contemplated by or the risks described in this Agreement (including but not limited to Diving or Participation). 7) Indemnity Against Claims: I hereby agree that my heirs, distributes, executors, administrators, guardians, legal representatives and assignors will indemnify, save and hold harmless the EOST and all Cosigners, their officers, directors, agents, representatives, servants, employees, attorneys, business advisors and shareholders, conducted from any and all losses, claims, actions or proceedings of every kind and character which may be presented or initiated by any persons or organizations arising directly or indirectly from my Diving or Participation or participation in any other activities in connection with, sponsored by or for EOST o Cosigners. 8) Continuation of Obligations: I agree and acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect now and in the future at all time during which I participate either directly or indirectly in Diving or Participation or in any other activity in connection with, sponsored by, or for EOST or Cosigners, and shall be binding upon my heirs, distributes, wards, principals, family members, executors, administrators, guardians, legal representatives and assignors of my estate. 9) Broad interpretation: this Agreement is intended to be a broad and inclusive as is permitted by law, and may not be modified in any way.
