Just letting everyone know who posted or PM'd. I'm waiting to hear from the underwriter on the last leg of this before they'll let us sign up as a group. They had no good reason not to do it, but asked me to write something up about the business model and etc. (which I did) because they are used to issuing a group policy to "a store" (bricks and mortar) and asked for a justification why what I am proposing is like that (which I used my imagination and came up with quite a few reasons why). So, we got past the agent because they did not deny the request outright but are giving it due consideration (which means kicking it up to the underwriter for a decision), and they are getting back to me with a decision and then we'll go from there.
The original thread is below for those of you not up to speed - we're trying to get a "group" rate for instructors liability insurance - but this is for the "less active" of us - and not for instructors taking out group trips and acting as Divemasters on a frequent basis (sometime is ok)...(we're trying to limit the risks)...

I'll keep everyone posted via Board and PM...if you want to be included in the group, send along your info by PM. We're looking to save a wad of money (something on the order of paying less than $200 rather than $580 for instuctors liability insurance). All agencies welcome!!!!!
Please, also, this is not a place or thread to debate the merits or availability of this or to post your arguments whether or not you would do this (if you want to do it, let me know, otherwise, feel free to share somewhere else) or debate which agency is better than another or how instructor insurance is less in Yugoslavia or Tazmania and all the rest of that stuff. The policy is being sought through a trusted insurance source with whom I and others on this board have worked for years. This thread is to provide information to those that are interested. Thanks for understanding!!!!
