I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS INVOLVED WITH SAILING, including, but not limited to equipment failure, perils of the sea, harm caused by other vessels, acts of fellow participants, entering and exiting the water, boarding or disembarking boats, and activities on the docks. I agree that if I take part in a snorkeling activity in water, I am able to swim and I have the skills to snorkel in open sea conditions without any support.

I confirm that I am fit enough to snorkel and ride a boat and I release the exonerated parties from any responsibility if I get hurt as a result of ANY situation (medical condition or accident of any type) that may occur when snorkeling, while riding the boat or in any way in which I participate in the excursion. The proper use of floating devices is mandatory. Therefore, I will not take off the floating device at any time while I am in the water. I understand that when I do so, I am breaching the safety rules and procedures. I perfectly understand that the vessels only have a first-aid kit and that, in case of accident or disease, it would be necessary to call for medical assistance through radio and that treatment would be delayed until I can be moved to the closest medical facilities. I accept these conditions in advance. In case I am in pain or that I ask for medical assistance, I hold the exonerated parties: Cancun Sailing (Operadora Vela Total S.A. de C.V.), crew, ships, or passengers free of responsibility for the actions they take to help, rescue or for giving first aid.
