To ensure a safe and stress-free trip, we highly recommend purchasing travel and medical insurance that covers free-diving and snorkeling, as well as medical evacuations. Proper insurance can provide peace of mind and financial protection in case of unforeseen circumstances. Here are our recommendations and guidelines:

1. Travel and Medical Insurance:

   • Ensure your insurance policy covers free-diving and snorkeling activities. This is crucial for any medical emergencies or accidents that may occur during your trip.

   • Medical evacuation coverage is essential. In remote locations, evacuation can be costly and complicated without proper insurance.

2. Recommended Insurance Providers:

   • We suggest sticking with big, reputable insurance companies with a proven history of reimbursement and efficient claims handling. Specifically, we recommend:

     • American Express

     • Allianz

3. Avoiding Unreliable Providers:

   • Be cautious about using cheap online insurance providers that lack reviews or have negative feedback regarding claims handling. You may face difficulties getting reimbursed if something goes wrong.

4. Cancellation Coverage:

   • If you think you might have to cancel your participation, consider purchasing "cancel for any reason" insurance. This type of insurance provides more flexibility and coverage compared to standard policies, which typically only cover cancellations for medical reasons.

   • Always read the fine print of your insurance policy to understand what is covered and any exclusions or limitations.

5. Key Points to Remember:

   • Verify Coverage: Confirm that your policy covers all planned activities and potential risks.

   • Read Reviews: Check reviews and feedback about the insurance provider’s claims handling process.

   • Understand Policy Terms: Be aware of the terms and conditions, including coverage limits and exclusions.

Expensive Camera Gear:

If you plan to bring expensive camera gear, please take note of the following:

1. Insurance Coverage:

   • Renters insurance generally covers your gear if it gets stolen. However, you should verify whether it also covers damage. Additional insurance might be necessary for comprehensive protection.

2. Specialized Insurance:

   • The Professional Photographers of America (PPA) extends its insurance policy to members, which can be an excellent option for those with professional-grade equipment.

   • To mitigate risks, bring a vacuum pump and diligently check for potential leaks in your camera housing. This can help protect your equipment from water damage.
