While looking over my travel insurance coverage, I realize that the coverage for lost/stolen luggage will not fully cover the cost of my dive gear. I do not own a home, so no homeowners insurance. Does anyone offer a supplemental insurance specifically for lost/stolen luggage?
 
I think Dive Assure does as a part of their Diamond Plan.
Their # is 866-898-0921

You might try going through a insurance agent. I have my cameras and laptop on their own policy at state farm the cost isnt much and it does give peace of mind. Not that loosing a $700 camera body isnt going to pi$$ me off durring my vacation but it will give me money when I get back to the states.
 
I have my gear under my "PERSONAL ARTICLES" policy. That is how my jewelry is insured also since most homeowners will not cover much on lost/damaged personal effects. It's pretty cheap, I have over 7K of merchandise on it and it costs less than $100/yr. It is through my State Farm Ins. I also have Dive Assure, I got this to help cover trips in case of any unforseen cancellations and my plan covers all my gear.

Happy Diving!
