Scuba Diving Insurance
Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving offering people the opportunity to see what life is like below the water in lakes, rivers or oceans. Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas rather than relying on air pumped from the surface, which allows for greater freedom. The beauty of scuba diving and the reason for its popularity is that divers can stay underwater significantly longer than with breath-holding techniques used in snorkelling and free-diving.

More about scuba diving
Scuba diving is generally considered a relaxing past time, often enjoyed in stunning coastal locations. However divers should be aware of the potential risks associated with the sport. Common injuries from scuba diving can include bites, stings and contact irritations, as well as abrasions, lacerations and fractures often caused as a result of sharp coral reef. Decompression illness is a more serious condition which can occur hours after a dive and range in severity from discomfort to life-threatening.
Scuba diving is listed within our medium risk sports in group 2. We strongly recommend that you take out suitable scuba diving insurance cover prior to your dive.
