Participant Rules for Discover Scuba Events at CRYC

Thank you for your interest in our Discover Scuba Events at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club (CRYC). We are fortunate to have access to this beautiful facility, so it is imperative that we demonstrate our gratitude by respecting the club and its members. Remember, we are guests of the club and we are “sharing” the CRYC pool with the club members during our events. As a guest of the club you are expected to be on your best behavior and to abide by the following rules.

• All non-members, including adaptive divers (participants), family members, adaptive buddies and volunteers are required to register in advance to participate in a Discover Scuba Event at CRYC. Registration shall end the night before the event. After that adaptive divers must call for availability.
• Scuba4Good is permitted to use the pool from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM on designated Saturdays. All participants, guests, adaptive buddies and volunteers must be out of the pool by 11:00 AM.
• All participants and guests are required to execute hold harmless and liability waivers in favor of the Coral Ridge Yacht Club.
• Participants and their guests may arrive no earlier than 30 minutes prior to their scheduled dive and each diver may bring a maximum of two (2) guests.
• Participants, guests, adaptive buddies and volunteers must sit in designated areas for all Scuba4Good events.
• Participants and guests must exit the pool immediately following their dive session and must depart the club premises within one hour following their dive session.
• Participants can only book one (1) 30 minute dive per Saturday. Pool sessions may be extended to 60 minutes with prior approval. Once approved, participants may schedule two (2) time slots in a row.
• There are a limited number of time slots for all participants who would like to participate. You may only have one (1) Saturday time slot reserved at any given time.
• Participants are advised to show up at least 15 minutes early for their scheduled session. Participants who are late for their scheduled session may lose their appointment.
• All participants must submit the required PADI and medical paperwork before entering the pool. If we do not have current paperwork on file, you will not be allowed to dive.
• Only two (2) dive groups shall be scheduled per 30 minute time slot. There shall only be three (3) dive groups in the pool at any given time: two (2) scheduled groups underwater and one (1) group transitioning out of the pool. Each dive group may contain:
  • One (1) adaptive diver
  • Two (2) or three (3) adaptive dive buddies
  • No more than two (2) family members or guests. Family members and guests entering the pool must stay with their dive group.
• All scuba equipment setup and staging shall occur on the southeast corner of the pool so that the area surrounding the entry stairs is clear and available for members and guests to enter and exit the pool. Any scuba gear not in use shall also be stored on the southeast corner of the pool.
• Divers shall use their best efforts to keep clear of the stairs after entering the pool. The stairs should be used by divers for entry and exit only.
• All equipment will be provided for adaptive divers, but it is recommended that you have your own mask, snorkel and fins.
• Dive buddies must bring all their own equipment including tanks.
• All dive tanks must have tank boots to protect the surface of the pool.
