insurance

I am planning on being a freelance dive instructor. I have been offered to teach the pool work in a private owned pool. We have not worked out a payment yet but the pool is at his home. What would I (or he rather) need to look at for insurance to use that pool. Is there a rider a homeowner can...

Hi all. I'm looking for opinions on dive/ travel insurance plans from any company. Specially I am looking for the opinions of professional divers permanently living abroad (at least 1 year) or ex-pat divers. I am not referring to liability insurance. Many plans that I have come across only offer...

I worked at LDS a few years back and was certified through a manufacture for their gear. I want to start servicing gear again but what insurance is required for me to have? I assume some sort of liability insurance? I know dive instructors have insurance but what about service repair...

Apologies if this question has already been asked before, but I am unable to find a clear answer on a few things. My understanding and findings are as followed: An OW certified diver is allowed to take a night dive without additional certifications. Night Dive certifications provide in-depth...

I’m leading a large trip to Grand Cayman in early April. This post isn’t to debate the wisdom or ethics of this plan. The trip has been rescheduled 4 times already and the plan is to go, despite the Omicron surge and the ever-changing entry requirements. I have a specific question about one...

My wife and I are (hopefully) going back to Cozumel the first week of Feb. We are members of DAN, but have never purchased their dive trip insurance. When we book with Delta Vacations or United Vacations we usually get their cancel for any reason insurance, which usually runs $125 or so. We...

I'm a CMAS diver with DAN insurance. I visited the cmas website to be greeted with a link to their new page called Aqualink. It looks like this part of their site is under development and that CMAS is bringing their logbooks, educational programmes etc online. Aqualink's insurance provider is...

Not sure if you have someone following threads where Aggressor is named, but there is growing tension over the perception that the company is not responding to clients who now find themselves unable to travel due to cancellations by carriers and governments closing borders to foreign nationals...

I received this letter from DAN, does anyone know the details about this? Is it some law in Quebec, or something that we should be trying to get changed? What are people doing about this? Dive Accident Insurance for DAN Members in Quebec Updated 1/13/2020 Since 1980, DAN has been committed to...

Hi all, New to diving - completed my OW a few weeks ago, going into completing my AOW this weekend (as I felt the extra few dives with a trained instructor would help build my confidence massively). I am going to dive on holiday a couple of times this year, but will hopefully dive in the UK...

I booked a liveaboard to the Galapagos over a year ago. A once in a life time thing. Last September I had a ruptured Achilles and had to have reconstructive surgery :( Talking to my surgeon at the time, she thought I would be ok diving by then but, here we are, a month and a half before the trip...

It looks like I am getting the run around from DAN Insurance again. They wont cover my trip to the bahamas since Blackbeards livaboard says that it is unsafe to run the charter in a Cat 5 hurricane. Dan travel insurance says this is not a covered event. This is the second time I have felt let...

I haven't seen this addressed directly on the board...if it has been covered, I apologize! I am looking for first-hand reports from folks who: 1) purchased trip insurance, and then, 2) missed their liveaboard departure due to delayed or canceled flights What ended up being covered? Were you...

Hi all, I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and we're putting together a small group dive holiday to the Caribbean. Her grandparents are experienced divers and want to come with us (they are a hoot). While we were talking she mentioned that after 25 years DAN dropped their...

Did a search, all threads are >4 years old (w/ warning "you sure you want to resurrect this thread?") and/or about international shipping, and given the change in the landscape since 2008 with TSA and also gas prices/shipping costs, I'd love to see if anyone has recent experience with shipping...

For anyone booked onto one of the Dive Damai liveaboards in Indonesia, I've just read on their facebook page that they are offering DAN Asia Pacific medical and emergency evacuation insurance free of charge to all of their guests that want it. Thats not bad eh? Liveaboard Diving Insurance |...

Hi there, I've seen a few more threads on insurance, but mots of them are pretty old, so here's my question .. I've recently done my IDC and I'm looking to find a job as an instructor. I'll clearly need proper insurance, but which one should I get? Clearly my first thought was DAN, but when I...

Hi! I'm leaving my boring job to travel around the world and completing my pro diving courses. Planning to dive as a profession. I'm wondering about insurances for my trip, and hoped you could answer my problems. Now I need an insurance, that covers me outside the diving scene. (It wouldn't be...

Hello to all you experts! I've paged through a looong list of threads about insurances on the board, but I can't find anything relating to my case, so I'm hoping some of you may be able to share your insights on this. I'm currently insured (pro-insurance) via DAN for my diving, and me and my...
