What are the different levels of activity cover?
There are three different levels of activity and sport coverage under World Nomads policies, these are as follows:
- Level 1 - Automatically covers Level 1 sports, activities & experiences in the Standard Plan and Explorer Plan
- Level 2 - Upgrade required - Also includes Level 1 sports, activities & experiences
- Level 3 - Upgrade required - Also includes Level 1 & 2 sports, activities & experiences.
Simply specify all the sports and activities you have planned for your trip when you get your quote, as you can’t add them afterwards.
What am I covered for when scuba diving?
Under our Standard and Explorer plans there are certain special conditions and exclusions depending on the type of scuba diving experience you’re planning. See our list below to know what you’ll be covered or not covered for:
- Scuba diving (qualified to 30 metres)# (1#) - Covered
- Scuba diving (qualified to 40 metres)# (2#) - Covered
- Scuba diving (unqualified/discover diving tour with qualified instructor)* (1*) – Covered
- Shark cage diving (non-qualified at surface or qualified to scuba dive to 30 metres)*# (1*#) – Covered
- Cavern diving (qualified to 40 metres)*# (3*#) - Covered

Note: sporting equipment that is checked-in is only covered where the carrier requires it be checked-in due to its size or weight. Always carefully read your PDS so you are clear on what is and isn’t covered under each plan. If you are still unsure about coverage you can contact us.
What's covered?
The right travel insurance can be very helpful in keeping your trip on track. World Nomads offers two policies – Standard and Explorer – that provide coverage when backpacking overseas.
Our plans are designed to provide cover for sudden and unforeseen events on your next overseas adventure, such as being left empty-handed when the airline loses your luggage, if you need to see a doctor if you are hurt or feeling unwell, if severe weather interrupts your plans, and for many other reasons.
World Nomads may offer cover for the following (up to the policy limits):
- Cancellation protection: trip cancellations happen from time to time and travel insurance can help when the unexpected forces you to cancel your trip. Depending on what’s happened, we may pay for the value of your unused, non-refundable expenses
- Overseas emergency medical: exploring the world through a scuba diving lens can be a great experience, but not if it ends in sickness or an injury. Your policy may cover you for your overseas medical expenses, up to the policy limits and when agreed by us. You can submit a claim to recover unexpected medical expenses while abroad
- Family cover: it includes overseas medical expenses for up to 12 months after sudden illness or injury. There’s also cover for dental treatment under both Standard and Explorer plans
- Delayed baggage: It can be a pain, however, if it’s been 12 hours and there’s no sign of your bags yet, insurance will cover you for the cost of some basic replacements such as pyjamas, toothbrush, and shampoo
- And much more…
Note: Read your PDS for details on maximum benefit limits, exclusions and terms and conditions of your coverage.
Travel insurance tip: World Nomads provides travel insurance for more than 150 activities, sports and experiences. While this list might seem exhaustive, it doesn’t cover everything. That’s why you shouldn’t take for granted that your preferred activities will be covered. You can’t upgrade your level of cover mid-way through your holiday, so do consider this wisely.
What's not covered?
Travel insurance is not designed to cover everything so understanding what’s not covered is important. There are several situations we can cover you for, but there are also some we just won’t cover.
These include, but are not limited to:
- Diving professionally
- Reckless behaviour while diving or doing any activity or sports
- Search and rescue expenses
- Your scuba dive equipment while it is in use
- Diving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- If you don’t keep your gear safe and secure at all times.
- Expenses that can be recovered from other sources e.g., transport carriers, accommodation providers or other insurance policies
Key tips when going scuba diving:
- Only dive if you are fit to do so. You may need to consult your medical practitioner before going scuba diving and get a ‘fit to travel’ approval.
- Check all your gear to ensure everything is in good working order and then do a buddy check of your fellow divers.
- When scuba diving with a group, listen to your instructor or dive guide regarding the planned route and what to look out for.
- Monitor your air gauge and make sure you have enough air left to get back to the boat.
- Descend and ascend slowly during every dive.
- Only dive with reputable companies using licensed, seaworthy boats and well-maintained dive equipment. Make sure you check your instructor's credentials.
- Don't fly for at least 24 hours after scuba diving. The aircraft's pressurised environment can trigger decompression sickness if you still have excess nitrogen in your system.
- Make sure you have the right level of scuba diving travel insurance and that the kind of diving you plan to do is fully covered.
Want to know more?
Our Help Desk article on scuba diving can help you out if you have any further queries on coverage.
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy. You should read your PDS in full so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

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.

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 without certification, unless it is a Discovery-type course with an instructor.

- 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.
