Today we're going to talk about the importance of having dive insurance while partaking in any scuba diving adventure. We've teamed up with Westfield Sub Aqua Insurance, who are offering all our customers a discount when booking any holiday or training course with us. We all think that terrible accident isn't going to happen to us and some of us travel without any travel insurance. The costs of specialist dive travel insurance in the Red Sea starts of at just £43.91 per person, a very small cost to pay if indeed you need to use a decompression chamber or any other sort of medical attention.
Many people think they can get a cheaper travel insurance policy elsewhere. Yes, that maybe the case but have you read the small print in terms of what scuba diving cover it provides. Here is a couple of points from Westfield's website regarding non-related dive insurance travel polices.
- Depth Restriction (as low as 6 metres)
- No Cover for Sea Rescue (this is a bit like selling skiing cover without mountain rescue)
- No hyperbaric chamber treatment cover
- Cover is excluded if the holiday was primarily booked as a diving holiday ( i.e. they're not covering diving holidays)
- Cover for medical cost of a diving accident can be very low
- No cover for Dive Kit, or loss of diving days due to illness
- No Shark Diving, No Wreck Diving, No Night Diving
Westfield have excluded the above points all they ask for is that you're within the current safety recommendations of BSAC &/or SSAC &/or PADI &/or CFT &/or TDI &/or IANTD.
