Diving Travel Insurance

What is Indoor Diving?

Indoor diving involves diving within controlled environments like pools or specially designed tanks. These settings often simulate open-water conditions and are used for training, recreational, or competitive diving up to 5 metres deep. It's popular for skill development, safety training, and as an accessible way for beginners to start diving.
