Real life DAN insurance story. The incident happened on a shallow dive.
Friend was on a trip to Mexico diving cenotes and reefs. On one of the ocean dives he was going through a swim through and had to back up. His butt hit the top of the arch, didn't think anything of it. When he got onto the boat and sat, he felt a sharp prick on his butt (the jokes are plentiful). Didn't think anything of it, but next morning woke feverish. Hotel doctor visited and said it looked like an urchin spine was in and infected. They called DAN, who arranged transport to the clinic in Playa. Doctors there started him on antibiotics, but said he needed to go to Cancun. DAN arranged helicopter transport to the Cancun hospital where they did minor surgery to remove the shattered urchin spines and kept him on antibiotics to clear the infection.
He said his experience dealing with DAN was awesome from start to finish. They arranged and covered the transportation and worked with his primary insurance to ensure nearly everything was covered. His out of pocket was minimal
DAN insurance is a very small price that covered his a$$ (sorry, the jokes on this one are too easy).
