Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 24 July 2025
By using underwaterparker.com, you agree to these terms and conditions. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the website.
1. Content
All content on this site, including photos, blog posts, and videos, is owned by me unless stated otherwise. Please don’t copy or use anything without permission – just drop me an email at rick@underwaterparker.com if you’d like to share or republish anything.
2. Accuracy and Personal Experience
All content on this site reflects my own experiences and opinions from past dives and travels. I share it in the hope it’s useful, but please keep in mind that things can change – dive conditions, prices, transport options, or even whether a site is open. Always do your own research or contact local providers before making travel plans.
I can’t take responsibility for any changes, closures, or differences you might experience. Basically, if your trip turns out different to mine, I’m genuinely sorry – but it’s not something I can control.
3. External links
I may include links to dive shops, travel providers or other blogs. I’m not responsible for their content or services – visiting those sites is at your own risk.
4. Liability
I can’t be held liable for any issues that arise from using the site, whether technical problems or decisions made based on information here. Scuba diving and travel come with risks – always dive safely, with certified operators, and within your limits.
5. Changes to these terms
These terms might be updated from time to time. If anything major changes, I’ll post an update on the site.
