My husband (PADI OW two years ago, two dive trips under his belt) and I (noob to finish my last OWC dive once I arrive) are headed to Cozumel next month. :banana:
We've gone through "travel medicine" with Kaiser, getting the recommended vaccinations, etc. that they recommend for travel to Mexico. I've checked into what our health coverage does for us outside of the US (bupkiss).
From my readings, it seems the best ticket is to get membership in DAN ($55 for family) and each sign up for their top level Dive Accident Insurance ($70/year each).
It doesn't seem like trip insurance is necessary, though; this trip is modest in price and frankly the cost of this coverage doesn't make sense. If this were a $5k per person dream vacation, yeah, maybe.
But, maybe I'm missing something. :shortbus:
What do those more experienced recommend?
