    Scuba Diving Insurance is a must have for ALL Moana Cruising Indonesia liveaboard safaris. We would also strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance. If you have neither comprehensive travel insurance or diving insurance then you MUST look at obtaining your own comprehensive scuba dive, accident, medical, baggage and trip cancellation/interruption insurance prior to joining an Flores diving liveaboard cruise.
