Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need Scuba Diving Insurance?

Thailand Divers requires all certified divers joining scuba day trips, liveaboards or courses for certified divers to have their own suitable scuba-diving insurance before diving. This includes Refresher, Advanced Open Water, Nitrox and Deep Diver courses. Insurance is not included in these bookings.

Your existing travel insurance or personal dive insurance is acceptable if it covers your planned scuba diving in Thailand, including the activities, maximum depth and all dive dates, with cover for dive-accident medical treatment, emergency evacuation and recompression chamber treatment. Check eligibility, limits and exclusions with your insurer and bring confirmation of cover.

If you already have suitable cover, you do not need to buy another policy. If you need cover, see our scuba insurance guide and DAN short-term option. Check the policy before purchasing.

Scuba-diving accident cover is included for Discover Scuba Diving, Explore Scuba and Open Water students during their booked course, subject to eligibility and policy terms. These students do not need to arrange separate scuba cover for those course activities. This does not replace travel insurance or cover later certified fun dives.
