I need to purchase dive insurance to cover me, what companies here in Ontario/Cananda cover scuba diving in Cuba? I carry the top plan at DAN but that isn't going to help me. Thanks
 
What does the top DAN policy not cover you for? Just curious.
 
DAN is American based, due to the diplomatic relationship between Cuba and USA, they are unable to pay any funds to Cuba to cover an emergency medical occurence, they would be able to medically evacuate if needed using a non american company, I have e-mailed and received response with regards to this from DAN, therefore this is the reason I'm looking for other insurance to cover diving in Cuba.
 
All visitors going ti CUBA now must buy CUBAN medical insurance certificates at the air port before you can even enter the country. Its a cash grab but your ass is coverd.
:D

Do they cover chamber rides? Emergency evacuation helicopter rides? Is it just a short term policy like I used to get from CAA or the banks ? Just curious and thanks for whatever you can answer.
 
That is good to know.
We need a Canadian diving insurance company that does not have to deal with the american foreign policy crap.

You can have your Canadian insurance and you don't have to buy Cuban medical insurance. I use RBC insurance wherever I go.
Cheers
