Diving and high diving involve jumping or performing controlled movements from platforms into deep water within a swimming pool environment. Activities may include standard diving from lower boards or higher platforms, depending on the facility and experience level.
ActivitySure can cover indoor diving up to 5 metres or 10 metres, as well as high diving that takes place in indoor or outdoor swimming pools only, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Diving and high diving must be undertaken at an amateur level only and within approved swimming pool environments. As diving involves entry into water from height, having suitable travel insurance in place is important before taking part.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to travel for diving?
Pool-based diving and high diving are offered at specialist aquatic centres and sports facilities around the world. Many travellers take part while visiting training centres, leisure complexes or organised activity venues that provide controlled environments with regulated water depth and supervision.
Some destinations host structured sessions or exhibitions within swimming pool facilities, allowing participants to take part under managed conditions.
Here's why diving travel insurance matters:
Diving from height increases the risk of impact-related injuries, particularly to the back, neck or shoulders if entry is not controlled. Even in supervised pool environments, accidents can happen, and medical treatment abroad can be costly. Travel insurance helps protect you financially if you require medical care or need to return home following an injury.
With ActivitySure travel insurance, cover may include:
Helpful travel tips
- Only dive from platforms that are approved for use and suitable for your experience level.
- Check water depth before every session and follow venue safety rules.
- Keep your body position controlled during entry to reduce impact.
- Never attempt dives beyond the permitted height or outside supervised sessions.
- Wear any safety equipment recommended by instructors or venue staff.Always follow the instructions provided by organisers or facility staff and adhere to safety guidance at all times.
