Statement of Intent, Waiver, and Release
I have read the program description and to the best of my understanding I am able to participate. I acknowledge that if I am selected to participate in the Lionfish Invitational, I will be expected to attend the entire 3-day cruise; be willing to dive to achieve project goals; am responsible for using safe diving and lionfish handling techniques; and am responsible for conducting myself in a manner that supports the goals and mission of Lionfish Invitationals mission. I will adhere to all rules and regulations imposed by the M/V FLING and Lionfish Invitational, including diving NO DEEPER than 130 feet on artificial reef structures and NO DEEPER than 100 feet within the FGBNMS and NO SOLO DIVING. I recognize that participation in this event may involve certain hazards. I understand that I should not participate unless medically able. I assume the risks associated with involvement but not limited to SCUBA diving, vessel operations, inclement weather, seasickness, and handling venomous lionfish, these risks being unknown and appreciated by me. Having read this release and considering the acceptance of my application, I for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release Lionfish Invitational and Fling Charters, all partners, sponsors, and hosts and their representatives and successors from any claim of liability arising from my involvement in this project. I do hereby consent to the use of my name and/or photograph in connection with publicity about the project.
I understand that as of 2025, the trip fee is now non-refundable. If I am unable to make the trip, Lionfish Invitational will do everything possible to fill my spot. Lionfish Invitational has a long waitlist, if my spot is filled, I WILL receive a refund. If my spot is not able to be filled, I will NOT receive a refund.
