    Info Is DAN Insurance worthwhile?

    DAN's statement is more than solid, responsible, and way better than most consumer facing organizations. Definitely something corps/orgs could learn from. That being said, as awesome as the response is, have a plan A, B, and C to fix the problem in front of you. My DAN, as well as AMEX...

    Info Is DAN Insurance worthwhile?

    Well duh... Exactly what I was saying. The science is not valid for every persons physiology, current factors, or unknown issues. Sort of like using GPS to navigate at O'Dark Thirty at speed in a shallow water environment. That track was good last week, I can't imagine why I went airborne on my...

    Info Is DAN Insurance worthwhile?

    Exactly.... They didn't pussyfoot around when I called in the US about some minor DCS, they said go to ER, same with one of my buddies who was very sick. Funny in the incident being discussed, they said just wait when the cost of air and medevac was at issue, i.e. probably someone they had a...

    Info Is DAN Insurance worthwhile?

    I will call DAN, if I don't like their timeline, and I feel like my life is in danger, I will make the call to Amex Medvac/Global Rescue, or my ass pocket. Call me entitled, I will fight with insurance asslowns once I am alive, safe and healthy. If your are sick enough to need the chamber...

    Info Is DAN Insurance worthwhile?

    Every year I debate whether to renew Platinum, but the medevac and other benefits more than pay for it. This year, staying at the Four Seasons free in Dubai. I once bought an BMW M3 without ever calling them, also bought a motorcycle a few years ago. Sometimes, membership has its privileges...

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    I am awaiting on DAN to reimburse my minor DCS hospital visit, should be about 30-45 days after I submitted all paperwork. If you dive, especially in foreign countries, you better have the means to get yourself un****ed. If you didn't know that before, you should now. I love AMEX Platinum...

    Profiling of Divers at Los Cabos Airport

    So...no more FBO at CSL, new building. Very efficient, nice, free beer and tequila prior to customs, then luggage screening. Not quite red/green. Had to open up the camera case, after x ray. Then it started, focused on the housing I kept repeating 1 camera, personal use not...

    Profiling of Divers at Los Cabos Airport

    Going through CSL airport today with camera as checked baggage. I will let you know how it goes, I can passably speak basic Spanish, and this is private airport with more of an affluent passenger profile. I am an expert at protesting CC transactions.

    Accident in La Paz, MX

    And the obligatory does not say anything newspaper article. Some people said there were no DSMB's deployed, which is not a surprise because every MX DM I have encountered tells you it is not needed. Se lee mejor en español, pero... Embarcación turística que atropelló a 2 buzos en Balandra se...

    Accident in La Paz, MX

    Seems as though there was a diver(s) on the surface that was hit by a tour boat and is in the hospital with serious injuries. Seems to be contrary details being reported on a Facebook group I belong to. La Paz Ex Pats FB group, usually solid information. I will dig further.

    Pending changes for certifications required for JDC dives

    My last dive for the aggregation was avg depth.. 79' Max 93' and bottom time 58 mins. Let's just say it is every simple to bump NDL on multiple dive repetitive days in Jupiter. Nothing is shallow, nothing is easy, and conditions are always changing. Love the place.

    Los Cabos boat strike

    As a frequent diver and fisherman out of Puerta Las Cabos I am shocked this doesn't happen weekly, the boat traffic is nothing short of insane.

    Cabo Pulmo vs. Loreto

    The take on Cabo Pulmo is dead on, but I have great dives there, so I was lucky in that regard. Taking a motorcycle tour of Baja in Feb that ends in Baja and looking forward to diving in Loreto.
