I'm a diver first fisherman second. I just bought my first dive boat/fishing boat. New Proline 22' Walk Aboard with Yamaha 150 4 stroke. I dive out of laguna and Newport Beach. Catalina is going to be 90 minutes away :11ztongue The boat is getting outfitted with electronics in the next few days. I'm stoked to have the boat, but more excited about the new dive locations I can get to.
I have a question for other boat ownwers.........................
My friend is a Dive Master with lots of friends. My boat will hold four comfortably with gear. We are set to go out in a few days. He wants to invite two of his buddy's to go along. He stated they would pay me for gas and some extra for letting them come. When I take guests on my boat, do I assume any liability for those divers? Can some of you fellow boat owners share some thoughts on this topic. I'm not running a dive boat or business so am I exempt from any liability. I know that nobody is exempt in today's lawyer infested climate, but what or how should I approach this issue?
