Insurance is expensive and it can be very time consuming to make a claim and get paid, depending on the circumstances. Few people read the terms and conditions and assume that many more circumstances are covered by the policy.

Well, the more I read, the more poor reports I hear on Agressor. If they don’t stand behind their product, there is plenty of competition in the field. This incident is in a lot of FB scuba groups and it’s triggered others writing about their experiences. When things are going right, it’s easy...

It’s horrible that they directed you to insurance, without a cancellation how do they think you will make a claim? Not being able to dive is not a typically covered reason with regular trip insurance . On the positive side I posted this on a FB page full of self identifying nuts and now...

Insurance claims are very tough, and in this case since they had your board the boat and never canceled the trip, it may be an uphill battle to get money back. I broke my hip once on a hiking trip and it was a full time job getting reimbursed.

The more reviews you do online the more likely they will be seen by others when they are doing a web seach. Tripadvisor Liveaboard.com Undercurrent magazine has reached out to passengers on another thread if it’s not here. I always look thru reviews first and it’s important that people know...

I’m surprised that no one has posted any reviews on websites where perspective divers are shopping. It seems that other liveaboard companies were much more helpful to clients. Being that they didn’t cancel the cruise, it will make an insurance claim more difficult for some. Other ops at least...

Saw this on another forum. I feel bad for anyone taking up anything with insurance as that will be one more big frustrating headache. It seems like Wonderpus and others have a much better policy and were more helpful to their divers! “Hostage on Aggressor dive boat. Flights are booked...

My hunch is that if a woman was there, they would have gotten to treatment sooner. Even just an IV would have gone a ways to preventing shock or very low blood pressure, Maybe because so many of us are mothers, we have a pretty good instinct and are accustomed to dealing with recalcitrant kids...

We had a good experience with USA Transfers.

What bad luck! Terrible about the boat sinking and fatalities.

I decided before I traveled to Indonesia that I was not going to use ATMs. Have had experiences where they have put daily limits on etc. My sister had just come back from Egypt and the bank limited their daily withdrawals. Instead, I contacted the hotel in advance and they said that they could...

Coco view FB page. He went there often.

Can we pay in USD?

It’s a bit of an off the wall idea. My husband and I are going to be in the Maldives for ten days. We live in NY. Earlier this year we were in Raja Ampat which we loved, but the flight into Sorong nearly put me over the edge. I came across Lembeh in my social media feed and see it’s a direct...

And Pipehorse, you are really putting us to shame with your research. Thanks so much for your curiosit.

Thank you all so much for this information! Just fascinating! good question!

same here. I think all the raves had set my expectations too high in regards to sea life. We also had 12-14 people with one DM.

It’s refreshing to hear honest opinions. And it’s good to have my expectations set. I was thinking about Curaçao, maybe next time. The dive ops didn’t blow me away when I was looking. one place seemed like a cattle boat, the other is under new management and finding its footing. Sadly, the Dutch...

Looks like RA (Mellisa‘s Garden).

It’s all pretty sad. I am on a Scuba Women FB page and it’s not good news anywhere in the Carribean.. I have been to Cozumel dozens of times, more in the past then recently. I wasn’t able to dive my last two visits. I always would see a bunch just snorkeling at the bottom of the stairs at the...
