$@!*t HAPPENS, MAKE SURE YOU'RE COVERED!

Diving comes with its set of risks; we are well equipped to deal with emergencies on board, but if you have to go to a decompression chamber (in Phuket) by speedboat or helicopter or stay in an international hospital for a few days, it can quickly cost you a lot.

Make sure you have travel insurance that covers you during your holidays.

Not sure what insurance to choose for your next diving holidays?

Travel insurances vary greatly; after much research, we have selected 3 insurance policies that we feel are the most competitive on the market to cover dive travel. Dive Assure, DAN, and World Nomad.

Why is DiveAssure our favorite?

Duke Dive Medicine physicians are available 24/7 for direct consultations to DiveAssure members and partners.

They pay directly to service providers. You don’t have to leave to prepay.
They offer a Liveaboard Rider: a unique insurance product that is offered to cover scenarios specific to liveaboard trips that are not covered by any other travel insurance.

For example, they will refund missed diving days due to an ear infection or bad weather and refund the cruise price if your flight is so delayed you miss its departure!
