The key takeaway is this:

To ensure uninterrupted coverage and protection: 

  • Do not allow a lapse in your OUC Club Membership or in the OUC memberships of your dive professionals.
  • Renew club memberships, club executives, and dive professionals (instructors and divemasters) in December to ensure you are fully covered for the upcoming year. This also protects dive professionals against future claims related to past incidents.

 

Attention:

  • Member clubs and dive professional members are required to maintain their Training Club status and OUC membership for a minimum of two (2) years after conducting training with any adult member.
  • Additionally, member clubs and dive professional members must maintain their Training Club status and OUC membership until at least two (2) years after the youngest minor member reaches the age of majority.
