From the southern sites of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang all the way to the Similan Islands and Burma Banks further north the dive conditions are outstanding - arguably some of the best in the world.

Diving Insurance

It is advisable to be insured as a recreational diver. As an Instructor or Divemaster it is usually mandatory. Standard medical insurance is unlikely to cover evacuation costs or re-compression treatment in the unlikely event of an accident. We supply you with an easy way of getting diving insurance quickly on-line at very affordable rates.

Don't take the chance with policies available at such low premiums - get insured today . . .
