Scuba diving and technical diving (including mixed-gas, decompression, cave, wreck, and rebreather diving) are inherently hazardous activities that can result in serious injury or death. Products sold by Rugged Scuba are components of, or accessories to, life-support equipment. By purchasing any such product, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks associated with its use.

Training required

Use only if you are currently certified for the type of diving and equipment configuration in which the product will be used. Do not use beyond the limits of your training, experience, or physical fitness.

Inspection and service

Inspect every product before every dive. Do not use if damaged, corroded, leaking, out of test, or otherwise suspect. Service and replacement must be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and by personnel qualified for the specific equipment. Rugged Scuba does not service regulators, rebreathers, or other life-support components, and does not certify third-party service.

Compatibility

You are responsible for verifying that every product is compatible with your specific regulator, cylinder, valve, rebreather, and gas mix before use. If unsure, consult a qualified scuba technician.

Aftermarket accessories

Certain Rugged Scuba products are aftermarket accessories for equipment manufactured by third parties (including but not limited to JJ-CCR, Fathom Dive Systems, iQsub, Halcyon, and Light Monkey). Those products are not manufactured, endorsed, or authorized by those OEMs; all trademarks are property of their respective owners and are used only for compatibility identification. Use of any aftermarket accessory may affect your OEM warranty.

RUGGED SCUBA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, LOSS OF USE, OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
