Travel Insurance for Scuba Diving

Scuba diving is a popular activity for TID customers, so we offer cover for experienced divers and those who want to try it for the first time.

 

What’s covered?

Overseas medical expenses for sudden illness or serious injury while scuba diving
Medical evacuation to the nearest facility for treatment
Treatment in a decompression chamber if required

Cover for your gear

Scuba equipment is covered under the policy up to $700 when not in use. To avoid having depreciation applied to your scuba equipment or if your equipment is worth more than $700 you can specify it up to $4,000 and pay an additional premium. Here's more information about cover for Luggage and Personal Effects.
