Do a search back a couple of years. This subject was discussed in depth.
I don't have people dive from my boats. But I do carry passengers regularly. Since laws vary so much between jurisdictions I sought the advice of my insurance company and a knowlegable lawyer.
The upshot is that I decided even having someone sign such a document was an acknowlegement of potential special liability that needed to be waived. So, I elected to follow my insurance company's advise that private carriage in a boat was no different than my other vehicles.
Keep it simple and clean. Wrapping yourself around the axle may do more to entangle than protect.
