I just contacted DiveAssure to get a quote for travel insurance with their liveaboard rider for a February 2022 liveaboard. I was told that you can only purchase insurance within 12 year in advance of the trip. They assured me that I could go ahead and book the trip now (paying liveaboard deposit, flights, etc), and it would all be covered once I buy the insurance in February 2022.
This was surprising for a couple reasons. In an older thread, @outofofficebrb stated that DiveAssure will allow policies to be bought 18 months in advance (rather than 12). The same post also said that some of the coverage only applies if the policy is bought within 14 days after booking the trip.
Given this conflicting information, I'm curious if anyone else has experience using DiveAssure for a trip more than one year in advance - I'm trying to figure out if their policies have changed, or if I was given bad information by the agent I spoke with.
In general, it seems a bit absurd that the only company to offer specific liveaboard coverage has such a short window for buying a policy, given that many liveaboards start booking 24+ months in advance.
