GoGay Travel Insurance
Posted by Neil on 29th March 2005
To anyone considering taking out Travel Insurance with GoGay.com, a word of warning…
Their standard policy only covers divers to 15 (yes fifteen) metres. You can get cover on their single-trip policies to 30 metres, for “an additional premium”, but they don’t have any annual policy which covers divers beyond 15m.
It’s hard to understand why they would choose 15m, when even the most basic Open Water Scuba qualification trains divers to a depth of 18m. It effectively means that their insurance is useless for Scuba Diving trips - you try finding a Dive operator that plans all its dives to less than 15m!
Apart from this, their insurance looks pretty good - unlike many Insurance Companies, they will also insure HIV+ travellers - and so I’ve sent them an email to encourage them to change their policy. If any other members would like to do likewise, please write to feedback@gogay.com
For a company that will insure divers (including HIV+) to a more realistic depth of 30 metres, check out TravelFirst insurance - if you use the link from the GLUG website, or quote “GLUG” when making a telephone purchase, the club also earns a commission on the sale.
