Scuba Diving Insurance - Divemaster

Overview

It is essential that you take out an adequate insurance policy before travelling with Gap Year Diver. Travel insurance is compulsory and you will not be able to travel unless you are insured.

All our passengers must be fully insured for travel. If you choose to purchase insurance independently, please ensure that the policy provides adequate cover for hospital treatment, repatriation flights home in the event of you being too ill to continue the programme, tour cancellation for personal reasons, personal accident and decompression treatment, diving to a depth of 30m (40m if possible), personal baggage and associated valuables. Cancellation cover must commence as soon as the policy is issued. This will allow you to lodge a claim with your insurer if you have to cancel your journey prior to travel.
