We can offer you a policy for your next scuba diving adventure.
If you plan to go scuba diving at least once during your trip then select the type of scuba diving you'll be doing and the depth e.g 'Scuba diving to 50 meters'.
| Scuba Diving Certification | Conditions of Cover |
|---|---|
| Not Certified | Cover to scuba dive under licensed instruction to a maximum depth of 50 meters |
| Certified Diver | You can dive to the depth that your license allows up to a maximum depth of 50 meters |
| Shark Cage diving | Covered to a depth of 50 meters |
| Cave diving and Cavern diving | Covered to a depth of 50 metres |
| Free diving | Covered to a depth of 50 meters |
| Commercial Diving | Not Covered |
While shark cage diving in Hawaii or scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef may be number one on your “To-Do list’, we know that things can go wrong from time to time. That’s why we’ll assist you if you become seriously injured or suddenly ill while diving and need urgent medical assistance. This includes:
If you’re in need of a medical evacuation, repatriation or if you’re admitted to hospital, you or someone with you must contact the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team immediately. Our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team can arrange and pre-approve all covered expenses as long as the event leading to the medical expenses is a covered event.
If you are wondering, who pays for medical treatment (and by this we mean either you pay upfront and claim later, or we pay upfront) it depends on what’s happened to you and the necessary treatment required.
Also be aware that any medical claim or sporting equipment claim we settle to you will have a policy excess deducted per person, per claimable event.
Here are the main things that aren’t covered:
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything. Take the time to read the terms and conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Policy Wording for full details on what is and isn’t covered. That way there are no surprises if you need to use it.
If you are unsure of cover, please contact us for help.
