Everything not described in “The trip price includes”
Dive insurance is mandatory as is your own personal dive computer if you are diving on your trip.
I would recommend Dive Assist for your insurance for the trip as it covers all the necessary things and is very reasonably priced and you can choose the time period you need to be covered for and not have to pay for the whole year.
As well as the Mandatory Dive Insurance we highly recommend Trip and Travel Insurance on the off chance of missed or cancelled flights / lost baggage, documents, money or passport or any other unforeseen problems that could possibly occur.
Dive Assure Insurance offers cover for all these eventualities as well as complete Dive Insurance all in one package
