What to Verify in Your Policy

• Depth coverage: Must cover diving to at least 40 metres (many standard policies only cover 18m)
• Hyperbaric treatment: Explicitly covered, not excluded as a "pre-existing condition treatment"
• Medical evacuation: Air ambulance from Labuan Bajo to Bali or further if needed
• Search and rescue: If you are separated from your group in Komodo's currents, S&R coverage is essential
• Geographic coverage: Must include Indonesia specifically
