I will say you are not the typical traveler on a cruise ship. You probably
should have separate insurance for all the scuba gear.

Having some things of "value" with me is often intrinsic to my trip!
One example, scuba gear, I carry on about $2,000 worth of stuff and check
the rest...includes buoyancy device ($400 to 500), fins ($160),
wetsuit,...it's value is not just monetary, it is safety.
I prefer to have my own good, reliable stuff when I enter an environment
that doesn't have any breathable air available. Yeah, I know, I have an
option to stay out in the air too :-)
