Travel and Leisure article : Swim with sharks? Think Hazardous Activity before you jump!
 

Travel and Leisure > Swim with sharks? Think Hazardous Activity before you jump!

Want to swim with dolphins? No problem, but want to do the same with sharks, even from inside a cage, then that’s a ‘whole new kettle of fish’, no pun intended! We do want you to have a ‘whale of a time,’ there he goes again, but it all boils down to the small print in the policy. Want to make sure? Then dive straight into the Hazardous Activities section first, and not the ocean, and all should be revealed or not as the case may be. Many of us assume that we are covered for that one-off opportunity that always presents itself when we are on holiday. Perhaps it’s because we are feeling relaxed and taken in by the smooth patter of the ‘Holiday Rep’ and sign up for the night time ‘toboggan run’ or once in a life time ‘bungee jump’ but how many of us think “does my travel insurance cover this?”



Most travel insurance policies will have a list of sports and hazardous

activities that are included as standard and even offer, with the payment of an additional premium, cover for activities at the more extreme end of the sporting spectrum. But it does pay to look closely at the small print in your policy as this is an area where, buying cheap travel insurance, if we stick with the fish theme again, will definitely bite you if you ‘shrimp’ on the cover. Having an accident can be very costly, after the event, and your travel insurance will definitely not cover you if the activity you have chosen to do is not on the approved list.



Your travel insurance policy is there to pick up the pieces when it all goes wrong, and not just in a figurative sense. Surgeons can do marvellous things these days with body parts that have become detached, even as a result of shark diving, but it will definitely cost an ‘arm and a leg’ if you don’t have the travel insurance cover in the first place!
