Diving Issues

Diving Issues you should be aware of when diving in the Red Sea.

Your booking conditions with Bella Safaris hereafter called “Bella”.

In signing this form I acknowledge that I have read and agree to its contents and understand the implications and risks involved.

I agree to follow the safe diving practices of my training organization(s), including conditions with regard to skills reviews after a break from diving.

The Egyptian Authorities state a maximum diving depth of 40 meters when diving with air and Enriched Air NITROX. Different rules apply when diving with technical diving equipment and will be explained if technical diving is undertaken.

Enriched Air Nitrox:

I agree to abide by the maximum operating depth limits applicable to my level of training and the gas mix used. I agree to personally analyze cylinders for my use and complete the fill station log.

I agree not to exceed the maximum limit under any circumstances barring a life threatening emergency. I also understand that it is my responsibility to check to what depths my insurance provides cover. I understand that should I break this rule Bella reserves the right to stop me diving with no refund for diving packages.

I confirm that I have been advised and informed of the inherent hazards of skin and scuba diving. I understand that skin and scuba diving can cause physical strain or exertion, not normally experienced in non-diving situations.

I assume all risks connected with scuba diving and will not hold Bella responsible for any injuries including but not limited to, those resulting from heart attack, physical / mental strain or exertion, or barotraumas, including decompression sickness or arterial gas embolism.

Medical:

I confirm that I have no current or historic illness, disease or medical condition, which could lead to the injury of myself, any other diver or employee of Bella, whilst skin or scuba diving. I am happy to complete the “Medical Statement” that is a requirement laid down by the Egyptian Authorities. If I am in doubt as to my health, past or present and the effect this may have on dive safety, I agree to be independently examined prior to diving.

I agree not to drink any alcoholic beverages before I dive. I give Bella my permission to stop me from diving should I drink any alcoholic beverages before diving or if I am still under the influence of alcohol before diving. I agree not to dive after use of medication or when feeling unwell.

Emergency:

I agree to bear all the costs of medical treatment, chamber costs, recovery and transport charges in the event of an accident. Should the case arise that I am unable to decide for myself I authorize Bella and their agents to arrange medical treatment on my behalf. I will provide Bella with details of my insurance company, policy number and Medical Emergency Telephone number. I do understand that if any accident happens, it might take some time to reach a medical centre, so I will abide by safety standards and listen carefully to the instructions of Bella employees.

Boat Safety:

Extra due care and attention is required when diving, operating and living on boats due to the increased hazard of, but not restricted to, movement in rough seas, wet decks and equipment movement. I undertake to take extra care whilst on board a boat and will not hold Bella responsible for any damages incurred that can be attributed to normal boating hazards. I accept the increased risk of diving near to and from boats and Zodiac & Inflatable's and accept that extra care and vigilance is required on my behalf.

Nature:

I understand that there is marine life that may cause bodily injury if touched or harassed and therefore I agree not to feed, touch or harass the marine life. I will not wear gloves.

Jurisdiction:

The contract between you and Bella Safaris is made on the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by Egyptian Law and clients shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Egyptian courts.Lorem ipsum
