SEABASE RISK ADVISORY

     You are advised that Sea Base programs and journeying to and from the Sea Base can involve exposure to accidents, illness and/or injury associated with a physically demanding high adventure program conducted in a sometimes-hostile aquatic environment. Participants may be exposed to severe weather conditions such as high heat and humidity, tropical storms and intense tropic sun.  Other possibilities include sunburn, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, dehydration, asthma and heart attacks.

Sea creatures such as rays, anemones, sea urchins, coral, barracuda and sharks, pose little or no threat if safe distances and respect are given them.  Be aware that Sea Base has a no-touching policy with regard to the coral and creatures of the reef.

Professional medical services such as hospitals and physician’s offices are a short distance from Sea Base programs.

COMMUNICATIONS

Do not call or write to SeaBase except in an EMERGENCY.  You will not be able to contact crewmembers on the boat.  Although the boat is equipped with radios and your crew leaders will carry cell phones, no phone calls home will be made from the boat.  When the crew is ashore, Scouts may call home with the trip leader’s permission and if time/circumstances allow.  However, calling home will NOT be a priority and repeated calls will not be permitted.
