Dive Local Insurance

The protection you need as you fuel your passion for diving locally. 

WHY A LOCAL DIVING INSURANCE

Even if your country has a robust national healthcare system, it likely does not provide the specialised knowledge, consultancy and assistance required for diving injuries or planning, nor does it likely fully cover hyperbaric therapy should the need arise.

Our Dive Local insurance will fully cover you in the event of a local diving accident, saving you money over our regular travel-centric insurance plans.

And when you start travelling again, you can always upgrade to a higher plan.
