Professional Liability Insurance for DiveCons

[PvtStash]

What do you DiveCons pay (on average) for your annual insurance?

Or are you covered by the shop your affiliated with?

Or do they pick up any part of this cost?

Also, how much are the Annual Dues paid to SSI ?

I Know there are people out there with this information... why the reluctance in posting?

Our shop has a group policy. It is divided up between & paid by the instructors. The Dive Cons pay nothing, but then they do a lot of work for us for only a little reward. I'll be the first to admit, our shop's Dive Cons are a huge help to the shop & the classes we do. The deserve that & much more in my opinion. I don't remember the Dive Con Dues. It's $75/ yr, I think. Instructor is $125/ yr. Our dive Cons pay their own dues, but not insurance.

DM/DiveCon insurance through Witherspoon is around 320 if I recall correctly. It's 517 for instructors. When I was with V&B as a DM it was 325 for DM /DC
