I agree that it is my own responsibility that I am physically fit and qualified for engaging in any of the diving and spearfishing activities involved with the 2021 Queensland Spearfishing Titles, Sunshine Coast..
I realise that such diving and spearfishing activities inherently have dangers to my person from or caused by currents, sea conditions, sharks and other marine creatures, the activity of other people in boats and in the water and their equipment.
I realise that the activity of breath hold diving involves the danger of “shallow water black out” if not conducted with caution and due care on my part. I have at least a general understanding of the term “shallow water black out”.
I understand that advice and information provided on the competition area and conditions are given in good faith but this advice and information should be treated with caution with final decisions being the responsibility of the competitor.

The fish I spear remain in my possession. I am responsible for adhering to the size limits, bag limits and other restrictions placed on my catch under government legislation.
