Insurance

Due to the remote nature of these trips, and the lack of medical facilities, it is mandatory for all our guests to have insurance that covers emergency evacuations and diving accidents.  You will need to provide proof of the insurance at time of check-in, or we cannot let you onboard.

We also strongly recommend that you have travel insurance that covers trip cancellations for any reason and other travel related incidents.  Since COVID, flights have been erratic and government regulations around vaccines and testing constantly changes.  If we have to cancel/delay a trip for any reason or you miss the start date and you chose not to have travel insurance, Mikumba Diving will not be liable as per the terms and conditions.  We will require you to sign a disclaimer for this before you come onboard.

For dive 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.
