Dive/ Travel Insurance for living abroad (personal coverage, not liability).

[globetrotter753]

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 coverage for trips with a certain medium amount of days.
Other travel insurance plans [that I have found] that do offer full year coverage, don't cover diving.
Other diving plans only cover diving related incidents...
Any advice and/ or personal experiences will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
P.S. sorry if this discussion exists already, but I didn't manage to find it.

I was in the Bahamas last week and got the Bends, I was taken to Rock port Urgent care accessed and then flown to Nassau, while in the Hospital I racked up a 15,000 Hospital bill which I had to pay and the other center got me for 920.00 bucks! Add another $7,500.00 for a 20 minute flight to the Hospital in Nassau, from Rockport Eleuthera Bahamas, I was also placed in the Chamber for 3 hrs., according to DAN Travel assist once they get all the receipts, doctors reports , hospital EOB, I get all my Moneys back, I have coverage up to 150.000 dollars , better keep that DAN up to date, better get a good credit card with a High Balance of a least 45,000 just for emergencies. These third and second world countries dont care about your insurance, you are a visitor , non citizen and they would not even see me until I gave them $8,000
The DAN insurance is International and you are covered, just do due diligence and keep up all your receipts or you wont get your money back!!!
