Does insurance cover shark cage diving?
Most insurance providers won’t cover shark cage diving as standard because of the perceived risks involved.
Shark cage diving sounds like a risky business, and accidents have happened in the past.
Improvements in the design and strength of the cages in recent years have helped to reduce the chance of the shark breaching the cage.
Boat accidents can occur with more regularity than shark attacks, so it is important to do your research and select a reputable company for your activity.
