Travel Insurance

Having the right travel insurance policy is absolutely essential on any Scuba Diving holiday, and not buying it, or buying the wrong type can prove to be dangerous and very expensive. You must ensure that you have the correct type of policy BEFORE you leave the UK. Most standard travel insurance policies will not cover you to go scuba diving so check the small print on any existing policies.

Medical Form

In addition to having adequate scuba diving travel insurance you are also required to fill out a medical questionnaire to hand in to your chosen dive centre or liveaboard operator. The form consists of a series of questions to assess your suitability to go diving and is for your information and guidance. If you answer no to all of the questions then you are safe to dive, if you answer yes to any of the questions you may still be able to dive but you will have to consult you doctor and get written consent from them to confirm your suitability to dive. It is your responsibility to answer these questions accurately as no refunds can be given if you are refused to dive in resort. We are happy to send you a copy of this medical questionnaire with your confirmation. Please call our specialists on 0845 5432 184
