Yes, cover for amateur high diving can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel.
Select high diving when getting your quote and check that it appears on your Policy Certificate or policy documents. Make sure you choose the correct activity, as high diving, cliff diving and other forms of diving may be treated differently.

High Diving FAQs
Is high diving the same as cliff diving?
No. High diving usually takes place from a raised platform at a controlled pool or purpose-built venue. Cliff diving involves diving from a natural ledge into open water and should be selected separately if available.
Can high-diving lessons be covered?
Yes, amateur lessons can be covered when high diving is shown on your policy documents. Use an established venue, follow your coach’s guidance and only attempt dives that are suitable for your training and experience.
Can medical expenses be covered if I am injured?
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if high diving is shown on your policy documents and the claim meets the policy’s terms and conditions.
Is Personal Liability covered while high diving?
Personal Liability may be restricted or excluded while high diving. Check the applicable cover before taking part.
Can I take part in a high-diving competition?
Amateur participation during a wider trip can be covered. However, cover does not apply if the main purpose of your trip is to enter an amateur tournament or competition. Professional, sponsored or paid participation and competing for prize money are not covered.
Can I get cover if I have a medical condition?
Pre-existing medical conditions are considered separately from activity cover. Declare them when getting your quote, as cover is subject to medical screening and acceptance.
Cover is subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of your policy. Check the applicable Policy Wording and your policy documents before taking part.
