That's an interesting thought.

Have you ever wondered why every dive operation that you have ever worked with required you to sign a waiver prior to putting you in the water or on the boat?

In addition, have you ever attempted to sue anyone in a foreign country? It's a lot harder than it is in the United States, I'm sure... assuming you can even get a hearing at all. The only lawsuit that I currently am aware of proceeding against a dive operator is in Australia -- that story was the basis for the film Open Water.
