Our policies may also provide cover for the theft or damage of sporting equipment or damage to sporting equipment by a common carrier. So if you’re fins, mask or scuba equipment gets damaged or stolen while in transit with a common carrier, you may be able to make a claim. Conditions apply so it’s worth taking the team to read more about this in your policy before heading overseas.
While cage diving in Hawaii or scuba diving in 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 with cover if you become seriously ill or injured 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 emergency team can arrange and pre-approve all expenses.
If you are wondering, Who pays for medical treatment, (and by this we mean either you pay upfront and claim later, or we pay) it depends on what’s happened to you and the necessary treatment required.
Also be aware that any medical claim or sporting equipment claim submitted 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 Product Guide 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.
