Legal The aftermath
The aftermath of
diving incidents BY LOUIS ENGELBRECHT
Verse yourself in the legal implications of divingrelated incidents and the aftermath that follows. s per the words of the owner of an overseas dive charter. “When someone dies in a diving accident, the aftermath can even embroil those who were only doing their best to help.” He continues: “Because I had been involved in the failed rescue, it seemed as if I was fair game, as were others. It still rankles that, in trying to do my best, I got caught up in the legal repercussions.” In this edition of the DAN-SA LegalNet, two diving-related incidents and their cases are discussed in order to explain their legal implications on the diving fraternity, including all divers, dive clubs and charters.
