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.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Diving?

Yes. Diving can result in injuries from improper ascents, equipment malfunctions, or water-related accidents. If you're traveling for diving competitions or training sessions, travel insurance helps cover medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
