DIVING LAW PUBLICATIONS

Commercial Divers | Recreational Divers | Technical Divers | Maritime Workers

The admiralty law is unique in its history and practice. Navigating the maritime law is oftentimes as precarious and unnerving as coming into port on a fog shrouded morning. It is very important to have a fundamental understanding of the Jones Act, doctrine of unseaworthiness, the benefits of maintenance and cure and other significant legal concepts as one works and plays in the diving environment.
