Insurance

Insurance is recommended on all our trips but it is mandatory on our liveaboard trips, and not included within your trip price.

Guests must have their own travel insurance, personal dive insurance and trip cancellation insurance with no exclusions for Acts of God and Force Majeure events. You will not be permitted to join our liveaboard trips without presenting insurance information when you check in.

For diver insurance please make sure that it covers you for the depth of your certification and for dive accident cover including recompression treatment.

We can provide short term DAN insurance at an additional cost.  Please ask at time of booking if you would like this.
