Legal Issues Facing California Divers in 2022

Noted dive lawyers Rick Lesser and Jorge Lopez discuss the legal issues facing recreational divers or those considering learning to dive here in California. Among the issues discussed will be recent changes in regulations governing dive boats operating offshore or to the Channel Islands, the legal obligations of dive buddies, the impact and consequences of medical statements filled out prior to dive straining and the viability  of liability releases in different contexts. They draw their experience from years of litigating dive cases (on both sides) throughout the country.
