Thanks

Not me. For the price you pay and the history DAN has why search for an alternative?

Exactly.

I agree. Travel insurance I can understand. There are several good alternatives out there. The depth and breadth of the dive accident insurance as well as the service (in my opinion) is not available anywhere else.

Dive Accident Insurance? Given what DAN does for diving and what DAN offers divers, why in the heck would you look elsewhere? I've been a proud DAN member and a DAN dive accident insurance customer since 2005.

Travel insurance, professional liability insurance, equipment insurance ... sure, there are other good options. But when it comes to dive accident insurance, no one else comes close.

If you really want something other than DAN try DiveAssure.

Just remember, when you get on board a dive boat; they never ask for your DiveAssure Card. They ask for your DAN card.

There are several Midwestern quarries that ask for your DAN card. One requires you to have DAN insurance to dive at that location. My tech class specified DAN insurance was required.

DiveAssure is not valid in your country of residence. It does not cover older divers. It does not cover you if you dive deeper than your "certification limit." Good luck with figuring out exactly what THAT means!

Just get DAN and stop trying to save pennies on something that pays off in thousands.

Exactly. There really is no justification for shopping around. Just join DAN and buy the best dive accident insurance package they offer in your location. You really cannot go wrong. God forbid you have an accident, but if you do, it will pay off in spades.
