Everyone up to 75 years old participants are insured on trips or diving courses conducted by Raya Divers. The insurance is approved by Thai T.A.T. (Tourist Authority of Thailand), and it covers evacuation and treatment for accidents up to  500 000 THB (approx. 12 500 EUR). Most accidents are minor (stumbling on the deck of a boat, dehydration, etc), which the insurance covers easily. However, we recommend each traveler to have their own travel insurance, and for certified divers to have an insurance specifically for scuba diving. This would assist you to avoid possible coverage problems on severe injuries, decompression chamber treatment or expensive evacuation cases back to your home country.

My wife, daughter and myself have just completed our PADI Open Water Diver course at Raya Divers. We were impressed with the professional way they ran the course and dealt with our different abilities. There were no short cuts and we all learned the skills required to keep us and others safe,whether in the pool on the first day or out at sea on the other two days. We have the confidence to build on our new skills. Logistically everything was well organised with all pick ups and transfers on time and all equipment in the right place and quantities. We have no problem recommending the team!
