Travel insurance when going scuba diving or snorkelling.

Scuba diving tips for your underwater adventure.

    As featured in:

  • As featured in:

Looking to escape the cold of Canada? How does exploring the underwater wonders of the Caribbean's colourful reefs sound? Or, perhaps, diving into the crystal-clear waters of Southeast Asia? Maybe even diving into the wrecks of the Mediterranean? Whatever the destination, there’s no doubt scuba diving offers an unforgettable experience.

Before you dive into the deep end (literally), it’s important to be prepared. From understanding the local dive conditions to purchasing the appropriate scuba diving travel insurance, being ready for your international diving escapade can make all the difference.

What types of dives are covered?

As passionate divers ourselves, we’ve designed our scuba diving travel insurance plans to cover dives from the Great Blue Hole to The Yongala, and we can offer coverage for:

  • Recreational scuba diving, including cavern diving, up to 30 metres.
  • Recreational scuba diving, including cavern diving, up to 40 metres, with payment of an additional premium.
  • Discover or “learn to dive” scuba dives with a qualified instructor.
  • Scuba diving as a paid or volunteer instructor or guide, with the payment of an additional premium.
  • Shark cage diving (non-qualified at surface or qualified to scuba dive to 30 metres).

Special conditions and exclusions may apply. Divers must hold a valid SCUBA diving certification (PADI, SSI or BSAC or equivalent) and follow the relevant association rules and guidelines at all times. Learners must only dive under the constant supervision of a properly licensed diving school and follow their rules and instructions at all times.

If you’re not sure whether something is covered, contact us. 

What does scuba diving travel insurance cover?

At World Nomads we offer two travel insurance plans – Standard and Explorer – each with different levels of coverage for scuba diving, snorkelling, and 250 other activities. When you get a quote, you can compare the plans side by side and decide which has the right level of coverage to meet your needs.

When you buy your travel insurance policy, you’ll need to list the activities you plan to participate in while travelling. Level 1 activities – such as scuba diving up to 30 metres – are automatically covered. Level 2 and Level 3 activities – like diving up to 40 metres – require an additional premium. World Nomads offers cover (up to the policy limits) for:

  • Emergency medical: your health and safety are a priority when you’re exploring the ocean, which is why our plans cover emergency medical expenses should you become sick with decompression sickness, get into an accident or otherwise get hurt while diving or snorkelling. This can include use of a hyperbaric chamber, if deemed medically necessary
  • Ambulance transportation and emergency evacuation: Dives that go wrong on reefs are not only unfortunate, they’re also costly –  our scuba diving insurance includes coverage for ambulance transportation to the nearest qualified medica service provider and emergency medical evacuation (subject to approval from our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team) to a hospital in your home province when your attending physician and our medical department recommend you return home for medical treatment.
  • Baggage protection: Scuba diving gear isn’t cheap – World Nomads offers baggage protection with up to $3,000 coverage under the Explorer Plan and $1,000 with the Standard Plan for lost, stolen, or delayed items.
  • Trip cancellation: if your dive trip is cancelled or interrupted due to an unforeseen event like a hurricane that results in Canadian Government travel advisory against travel to your dive destination, you may be able to recover your unused/additional travel expenses. This includes if your destination is deemed unsafe by a natural disaster.

Note: To be eligible for maximum emergency medical benefits, you must be covered under your GHIP for the entire duration of your policy. Without GHIP coverage during your trip, emergency medical benefits will be capped at $40,000 CAD. 

What’s not covered by scuba diving travel insurance?

While we can offer coverage for a lot of scuba diving events, there are some things we don’t cover. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Any scuba dive, including cavern diving, that takes you deeper than your current qualification limits, or any dive deeper than 40 metres.
  • Any unaccompanied or solo dive, commercial scuba diving or cave diving.
  • If you travel against medical advice or neglect to adhere to government of Canada "Do Not Travel” warnings issued prior to departure.
  • Any pre-existing medical conditions unless otherwise expressly stated in your policy.
  • Participation in a sport or activity not listed as covered in the policy wording or where you haven’t paid the required additional premium.
  • Expenses you incur after you return to Canada.

Scuba diving tips

Here’s some tips on how you can get the most out of your scuba diving trip, while also staying safe:

  • Make sure you’re physically ready for scuba diving. Consider a medical check-up and obtain a 'fit to travel' approval from your doctor before diving.
  • Before you plunge into the depths, give your gear a once-over to make sure everything’s in tip-top shape. Then, team up with your dive buddy for a thorough check – from tanks to regulators, ensure every piece is secure and dive-ready.
  • For a dive that’s as safe as it is thrilling, stick with top-notch operators – choose companies that’re known for operating licenced, well-maintained sea-vessels, who only hire qualified dive instructors.
  • Move slowly and calmly in with the underwater world – you’re more like to enjoy an up-close and personal experience with the marine residents when you blend in.

FAQ

Here are our most frequently asked questions about buying travel insurance for scuba diving. You can also find the answers to other questions in our Helpdesk or you can ask the customer service team.

  • What if the airline damages my gear
    If your diving gear is damaged by the airline, World Nomads may provide coverage for the cost to replace it. You’ll need to claim with your airline first, then provide the airline’s benefits report when you claim with us to make up the difference, up to the policy limits.
  • Does my travel insurance cover medical costs upfront or do I have to pay and claim later?
    It will depend on the situation at the time of the medical emergency. If you require hospitalization and/or medical evacuation our emergency assistance team will work directly with the hospital and evacuation services on your behalf. They may be able to arrange direct payment with the medical provider. However, if the treatment you receive is from an urgent care facility or walk-in clinic, you most likely will have to pay out of pocket and claim for reimbursement.

Travel Insurance for Scuba Diving

Essential coverage details and safety tips for American scuba divers.

    As featured in:

  • As featured in:

For information relating to policies purchased prior to October 23 2024, please check the Policy Wording provided with your purchase. You can contact us if you need this sent to you again. For plans purchased after October 23 2024, please see below.

Scuba diving brings about feelings of wonder and independence that can be hard to experience above the water. From coral reefs in Cuba to stingrays and dolphins in Japan, there is no shortage of divine dive sites around the world, so it’s just a matter of choosing which diving adventure suits you best.

And while calm waters, crystal clear visibility, and a bulletproof dive plan might make for the perfect underwater adventure, accidents can happen, even if you’ve taken all the steps to scuba dive safely. Whether you’re recently certified, or you’ve got hundreds of dives under your belt, World Nomads travel insurance* can help when the unexpected sinks your next dive trip.

What types of scuba dives are covered?

As passionate divers ourselves, we’ve designed our plans to cover dives from the Great Blue Hole in Belize to The Yongala in Australia. We can offer travel insurance coverage for:

  • Recreational scuba diving (qualified divers to 165 feet/50 meters).
  • Discover scuba dives (with qualified instructors).
  • Shark cage diving (Explorer & Epic plans only).
  • Cavern and cave diving down to 165 feet/50 meters for Explorer plans; 196 feet/60 meters for Epic plans.
  • Free diving, down to 197 feet/60 meters (Explorer & Epic plan only).
  • Snorkeling, island escapes, live-aboard trips and more.

Choosing the right plan for you

We offer four plans - Standard, Explorer, Epic and Annual - and each offers different levels of coverage. It is up to you to choose what plan has the right level of coverage to meet your travel needs and that matches your specific scuba diving plans. You can’t upgrade your coverage after you purchase a plan, so it’s important to get this right on the first go.

Why buy travel insurance when going scuba diving?

Coverage for your scuba diving gear

We also offer gear coverage for your baggage and sporting equipment. If your baggage or scuba diving gear is delayed, lost, and/or damaged while checked in with a common carrier, you may be able to claim reimbursement up to your plans per item and total maximum limit. Terms and conditions apply so be sure to check the plan wording and contact us if you have any questions.

If your gear is delayed, lost or damaged, you must report the incident as soon as possible to a responsible officer for the carrier. Make sure you get a Property Irregularity Report, or a similar official report, in writing. In the event that your gear is either lost or delayed by an airline, call our non-insurance service partner, Blue Ribbon Bags. They will track and expedite the return of your airline baggage on any airline, anywhere in the world.

Please note we do not offer coverage for damage to sporting equipment while in use.

Coverage for medical emergencies

Your health and safety are a priority when you’re exploring oceans and seas, which is why our plans cover emergency medical expenses should you become sick, get into an accident or get hurt whilst diving or snorkeling, even when abroad. This could include the use of a decompression chamber, should it be warranted.

Coverage for emergency medical evacuation

You might be on a reef far from medical assistance on your dive, and our plans include coverage if you need to be evacuated to a medical facility. An emergency evacuation must be ordered by a physician who certifies that the severity of your accidental injury or sickness warrants your emergency evacuation and authorized by the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team.

24/7 emergency assistance

Having an emergency in a foreign country can be overwhelming, but buying a World Nomads plan gives you access to the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team. They can facilitate a range of services in whatever part of the world you’re traveling, can speak multiple languages and they’re available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Scuba diving: What’s not covered

Travel insurance doesn’t cover everything. Things we don’t cover include, but are not limited to:

  • If you travel against medical advice.
  • Diving or snorkeling under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • Diving without certification, unless it is a Discovery-type course with an instructor.
  • Diving without a dive master present during the dive.
  • Participation as an athlete in any professional sports.
  • Diving to depths deeper than those listed above.
  • Any activities that aren’t on our adventure sports coverage list.
  • Search-and-rescue missions.
  • Any medical bills related to a pre-existing condition, unless you purchased the Epic or Explorer plan during the time-sensitive period were medically able to travel at the time of purchase.
  • Unattended baggage, sporting equipment, diving gear, or personal items.
  • If traveling domestically, travel within 100 miles from your home.

Handy tips for safe scuba diving:

  • Only dive if you are fit to do so. You may want to consult your doctor before going scuba diving
  • Check all your gear to ensure everything is in good working order and then do a buddy check of your fellow divers.
  • Only dive with reputable companies using licensed, seaworthy boats and well-maintained dive equipment. Make sure you check your instructor's credentials.
  • When scuba diving with a group, listen to your instructor or dive guide regarding the planned route and what to look out for.
  • If it’s been a long time since your last dive, consider doing an easy refresher dive before jumping into a deeper or more challenging dive.
