Travel Insurance recommendation for UK citizen

I'm planning to go off round the world and have looked at a few insurance
policies, but wondered what other UK people would recommend.

My key requirements are that the cover for lost/stolen items is decent (ie,
not limited to £300 for luggage or £500 for any one item) and includes some
sporting activites (specifically diving)

STA Travel have a pretty comprehensive policy (the standard policy, not the
backpacker policy) but I think it's a bit much at £275.

Any ideas?

Insurance, in general, is your betting that something bad will happen while
experts and actuaries bet it won't.
