Dive Travel Insurance

It is essential that you book a fully comprehensive insurance policy to cover your scuba diving holiday travel, health and requirements in the case of an accident.

Sportif Dive holidays do not sell insurance but it is a fundamental term of booking that you are adequately covered. To help find the correct insurance cover for your needs see our guidelines below and contact details for specialist diving and actitivies insurance companies who will be able to discuss your individual requirements. 


Booking Travel Insurance


When booking a Sportif Dive Holiday you are advised to book your scuba diving or other activity insurance as soon as you book your holiday. This is mandatory as part of your booking conditions and will ensure you have adequate cover for the following.

   Travel Cover    3rd Party Liability
   Medical Cover    Insure your own equipment
   Cancellation    Insure your rental equipment

There are many insurance companies offering travel cover, with varying conditions, so we recommend you checking the small print carefully before you purchase your insurance, to make sure you have the levels of cover you require. 


Dive Accident Insurance

Your diving insurance should cover emergency assistance, medical information resources, and a 24 /7 contact telephone line, to give advice for scuba diving both emergency, non- emergency and general advice. 


Does all travel insurance cover scuba diving, sports and activities?

Some travel insurers do not cover all sports and activities such as scuba diving, sailing, surfing, or other watersports and activities. We recommend you check if you will be insured at the time of booking your policy and take out additional insurance cover if you are not covered. 

There are many insurance companies offering travel cover, with varying conditions, so we recommend you checking the small print carefully before you purchase your insurance, to make sure you have the levels of cover you require incuding cover for any sports or activities you may participate in whilst on your holiday.
 

My Insurance doesn't cover 3rd Party liabilty. What is this and why do I need it?

When on a Sportif Travel holiday your scuba diving and other sports services are booked to take place under the supervision of a professional partner centre with safety cover during opening hours. If, however, you were to be involved in an accident with another person whilst on the water, we would advise you have 3rd party liabilty to cover you for any potential claims against you. It is possible to get extension insurance to cover your sports, with specialist insurance companies offering cover for sports and activity holidays or through sports organisations.
 

PLEASE NOTEFor travel to Dakhla - this is considered, for insurance purposes, to be in the Country of Western Sahara rather than Morocco. Please ensure you put WESTERN SAHARA as your country when booking your online insurance. If you select Morocco, this will invalidate your insurance.
