What happens when one decides not to pay DM insurance at some point? Do you need to take DM refresher course afterwards to become current again?

Probably varies with agency, but your profile mentions PADI, so ... Pro Chek has two entries: authorized / not authorized to teach, and renewed / not renewed. Dropping just insurance moves you from authorized to teach to not authorized. As long as you renew your membership annually you'll likely stay "renewed". If you drop membership as well, later retraining will vary with how long you were away from the fold.
Depends on the level. For the DM membership fees (not including insurance), last July I paid $99 initial membership and then in December renewed through 2014 for $118.How much is Padi membership?
