Overview
Digital liability waivers are built into every booking on ScubaDiverLink. Divers sign before departure using a draw-pad on their phone or computer. Signed waivers are stored permanently and cannot be altered after signing.
Enabling and Customising Your Waiver
- Go to Business Settings → Waivers.
- Make sure the Require Waiver toggle is ON (enabled by default for Standard and Premium).
- Review the default waiver template — it covers release of liability, medical fitness, certification confirmation, equipment responsibility, and emergency contact.
- Edit the text to include your business name, specific hazard disclosures (shark dives, strong currents, cave diving, technical depths), and your local jurisdiction.
- Click Save Waiver Text. All future bookings will use your updated text.
- To reset, click Use Default Template.
How Divers Sign
- After a booking is confirmed, divers sign from My Trips → [booking] → Sign Waiver.
- They must: scroll through the full waiver text, draw a signature on the digital pad, enter their full legal name, and tick the acknowledgement checkbox.
- After signing, the record is stored permanently with: waiver text snapshot, drawn signature image, full legal name, exact timestamp, and IP/device details.
Unsigned Waivers Before Departure
Check the Waiver column in the Trip Manifest before departing. Any diver showing Unsigned should be asked to sign on their phone. If a diver cannot sign digitally at the dock, record a paper backup and upload it as a scanned copy in their booking record after the trip.
Viewing Signed Waivers
