Mixed gas diving is an advanced form of underwater diving that uses specialised breathing gas blends to allow divers to reach greater depths more safely. It is typically undertaken by certified divers and is commonly used for deep wreck exploration and technical dive experiences.
ActivitySure can cover mixed gas diving when you are taking part abroad at an amateur level, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Due to the depth and complexity involved, suitable travel insurance is especially important when planning this type of diving trip.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go mixed gas diving?
Diving at greater depths increases physical strain and the risk of issues such as decompression illness or pressure-related complications. Even with training and preparation, medical treatment may be required during or after a dive. If an incident occurs while abroad, access to specialist medical facilities or repatriation may be necessary.
Here's why mixed gas diving travel insurance matters:
Diving with gas mixtures increases the chance of decompression issues. Travel insurance ensures medical care and repatriation are covered if you become unwell underwater. Generally, you can expect the following cover across our panel of insurers:
Helpful travel tips
- Only dive within the limits of your training and certification.
- Follow gas management and decompression plans carefully.
- Never dive alone and maintain clear communication with your dive team.
- Ascend slowly and monitor depth and time throughout the dive.
- Always follow instructions provided by dive leaders and organisers.
