Indoor Diving Travel Insurance

What is indoor diving?

Indoor diving involves jumping or somersaulting into a pool from a platform or springboard, with heights reaching up to 10 metres. It is performed in purpose-built facilities and is popular for both recreational and competitive sports. The activity requires physical control, timing, and precision, making it both challenging and rewarding.
