We've teamed up with two travel insurance companies that offer great deals for divers. If you live in the UK then Essential Travel is often the cheapest, with diving cover down to 50 m if you are appropriately qualified. If you live in another country then we recommend World Nomads. For every World Nomads policy purchased from here, we will donate the equivalent of 5% of the premium price to the Footprints charity project of your choice.

For accident and equipment insurance (at all times not just whilst on holiday or travelling) see Harrison Beaumont (for UK residents).

Book your diving travel insurance online with Essential Travel and save up to 50% compared to the cost of booking with a high street travel agent. SCUBA diving down to 30 metres is covered as standard on all policies. Appropriately qualified divers (eg BSAC Dive Leader) can purchase cover down to 50 m. For residents of the UK. Example prices: £9.09 for one week's scuba diving cover in Europe, £22.09 for Red Sea, £51.98 for annual worldwide cover. Click here for a quote.
