Filming Underwater

Filming Worldwide
The Public Liability Insurance allows members to carry out work worldwide. However, where the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against travel to an area, written confirmation of cover must be sought from Performance.
Filming on or in offshore installations
Cover is excluded. Performance can look to provide insurance for this on a project by project basis.

Cover is provided at a reduced Limit of Indemnity of £2,000,000. If cover above this limit is required please contact Performance.
