What is Skydiving Insurance?
Skydiving Insurance will protect you whilst participating in skydiving either abroad or in the UK.
If you are heading overseas skydiving, our Sports Travel Insurance policy can protect you for tandem jumps, and skydiving whilst under instruction. Just as with any travel insurance, you will also be covered for medical expenses, personal liability, as well as travel benefits such as insurance for baggage, personal effects and travel delay.
For those making a jump in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance policies can cover tandem skydives, solo skydiving under instruction, and those qualified to skydive alone. Our policy comes with benefits such as income protection, personal accident and personal liability cover.
To cover the added risk of hazardous sport, be sure to get your Skydiving Insurance before you take the big leap.

Why you need Skydiving Insurance?
Skydiving is classified as a high risk sport. Serious injuries such as broken bones and disablement can occur, so it’s vital to take out appropriate insurance before going skydiving.
If you already have travel insurance and just need additional cover for your skydive then our Activity TopUp policy can cover you alongside your travel insurance.
