Lookoutraplunz terms

These terms explain the intended use and limitations of the information and browser tools available on this website.

Educational information only

Lookoutraplunz provides general information about underwater landscapes, biodiversity and responsible visits. It is not a diving school, tour operator, medical provider, emergency service or site-management authority. Reading a guide does not qualify you for an activity, approve a destination or establish that conditions are safe.

Training and personal decisions

Snorkelling, swimming, scuba diving and overhead-environment activities involve potentially serious risks. Match any activity to appropriate training, ability, health, equipment and current conditions. Obtain qualified local advice and follow applicable law, protected-area rules and professional instruction.

Open-water experience is not a qualification for cave entry. Do not enter an overhead environment without the appropriate specialist training, equipment, planning and authorisation. This website deliberately does not provide cave-entry procedures or an individual dive plan.

Nothing here replaces medical advice, recognised training, a local briefing or emergency assistance. In an emergency, contact local emergency services and follow the established response arrangements for your activity. Do not rely on an editorial email response.

Accuracy and changing conditions

We aim to explain general concepts clearly, but errors, omissions and outdated references are possible. Weather, currents, access, permits, closures and operator arrangements can change. Confirm consequential details with the relevant authority or qualified provider before acting. Destination examples are illustrative and are not guarantees of wildlife, visibility, suitability or access.

Illustrations and external references

Conceptual marine-object visuals are illustrations, not destination photographs, navigation aids, species-identification evidence or representations of current conditions. Cutaway models simplify landscapes and must not be used to plan a route.

External links are offered for further reading. Their publishers control their content, availability and privacy practices. Mention of a place, organisation, standard or service does not imply affiliation, endorsement or a commercial relationship. Lookoutraplunz is not affiliated with the scientific agencies, training bodies or protected-area authorities referenced in the guides.

Local message utility

The contact tool prepares plain text in your browser. It does not send, submit or guarantee delivery of a message. Copy and download actions remain under your control. You are responsible for reviewing the draft, choosing whether to send it and using an appropriate email service. Do not use the tool for sensitive information or emergency reports.

Permitted use

You may read the guides and share links for lawful personal or educational purposes. Do not misrepresent the material as professional certification, remove important safety context when quoting it, interfere with site operation or use the contact channel for unlawful or abusive content. Copyright and other rights in the site’s content remain with their respective rights holders. Linking to the site does not transfer those rights.

Liability and statutory rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site is provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted availability, completeness or suitability for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable mandatory consumer rights. These terms do not transfer responsibility for an operator’s legal duties to a reader.
