Travel Insurance​

Finding a suitable travel insurance policy to cover your trips is not an easy task. When comparing different travel insurance programs you will find major differences in the level of coverage between the different programs on the market. The challenge is even bigger when going on a dive trip. Divers are not always aware of their special insurance needs as well of the specific knowledge and experience that is required when treating diving accidents in remote destinations, often with insufficient local medical knowledge.

Why should I make sure to travel with insurance?
In the event of serious injury or illness, insurance payouts can run into the hundreds of thousands of US dollars. An uninsured traveler will be at the mercy of the local medical system and the traveler’s credit card and bank. Medical treatment in some regions and specifically diving related medical treatment can be very expensive. An uninsured person will need to pay out of pocket, sometimes upfront, and that could be a problem.

What needs to be covered by my travel insurance?

Medical Coverage - Emergency medical coverage is most important, and when dive-traveling, medical coverage should pay for treatments in hyperbaric chamber. Different insurance policies have different terms and conditions so reading the fine print of each program is highly recommended. Coverage for medical evacuation is also very important and should include all types of evacuation.

Trip cancellations, interruptions and delays:
Other important benefits for a travel program are coverage for trip cancellations, interruptions and delays. Such coverage will protect your investment in case you need to cancel your trip due to various reasons, or cut your trip short in the middle.

24/7 Emergency hotline
Of course, a 24/7 emergency hotline should be available to you when traveling.
