Summary


The proposed rule amendment would prohibit SCUBA diving on Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area, except by individuals at least 18 years of age that have completed a no-cost electronic SCUBA diving registration with the Commission. The registration that the proposed amendment creates, provides general and area specific safety information for potential SCUBA divers. The registration also requires SCUBA divers to acknowledge risk, assume risk, and accept release of liability, prior to conducting SCUBA diving activities on Chassahowitzka. Registered Divers must present a copy of the completed registration if requested by the Commission and registration does not eliminate the Chassahowitzka daily use permit fee.
