Lets hope the same mistake does not occur using the altimeter.

Most life insurance policies have exclusions or addtional charges for high
risk activities, including sky diving and scuba diving. Their actuaries
know how to price risk.

If I read my altimeter as 10,000,000 ft when it's really only 1,000,000
feet, I'll have other issues to deal with.

It sounds to me like their actuaries never priced the risk, so they price it
out of the market.

Let's see... I drive a motorcycle to the airport to go flying
somewhere to go diving... I wonder if that would make their
underwriters nervous...

How do you carry all of your scuba gear on the bike?

Don't forget to wait 24 hours after diving to fly.

My hangar acts as a good storage space for it...

If I'm going to be flying at any significant altitude, I will, but if
I'm only flying at 1000 ft, I don't worry about it...

Probably no more than my back country skiing in Maine. Check the
provisions of the so-called "avaiation friendly" policies with one you can
get if you are not a GA pilot.
