Diving accident and travel insurance plans

We offer the most comprehensive Diving Accident and Dive&Travel insurance plans. Guaranteed. Our DiveSafe plan is the best product available on the market, with comprehensive, worldwide medical coverage as well as the benefits offered exclusively by DiveAssure. Our annual dive-travel plans include the DiveSafe plan for coverage against local diving accidents. Additionally, it offers the most comprehensive coverage against trip cancellation and interruption, including lost diving days, diving gear, and scenarios unique to liveaboard vacations.

Our service is dedicated exclusively to diving and was tailored to fit the diver’s needs. You are guaranteed the best available plans, designed specifically for divers. Should you require our help with claims or emergencies, you will find that our dedication and knowledge of diving and travel insurance makes a significant difference.

You don’t have to leave a deposit, credit card or other personal guarantees. In some scenarios, the amount of cash a person is allowed to withdraw from an ATM is simply not enough, and might prevent a diver from being treated or cause a delay in crucial times. With DiveAssure, you won’t have to worry about the payment, a direct payment will be arranged for you by our emergency hotline staff.

DiveAssure members and partner dive businesses can call Duke Dive Medicine (DDM) 24/7, with emergencies, questions or concerns, free of charge. DDM physicians will oversee all diving related emergencies to make sure that you are treated properly even in the most remote diving destination.

Why pay for what you don’t need? Travelling only for a short period? Not diving all year round? We offer a variety of insurance plans to suit your specific needs, choose between one week, two weeks or an annual plan. Choose whether you would like to be covered with our DiveSafe plan for diving accident only, or to have the most comprehensive Dive&Travel plans available on the market (two levels available).

Diving Insurance

DiveSafe

Diving locally or abroad? DiveAssure’s annual and short-term DiveSafe plans offer the coverage you need. The DiveSafe plan includes coverage for medical expenses, emergency medical evacuations, hyperbaric treatments and more.

Dive&Travel and Dive&Travel Plus

Finding a suitable travel insurance policy to cover your trips is not an easy task. When comparing different travel insurance programs you will find major differences in the level of coverage between the different programs on the market. The challenge is even bigger when going on a dive trip. Divers are not always aware of their special insurance needs as well of the specific knowledge and experience that is required when treating diving accidents in remote destinations, often with insufficient local medical knowledge.

DiveAssure offers 2 dive and travel plans that provide comprehensive general travel and diving accident insurance. In addition, both plans include many benefits specific to diving such as coverage for lost diving days and trip cancellation due to inclement weather. The Dive&Travel Plus also offers comprehensive coverage designed specifically for liveaboard trips. This plan, as opposed to a general travel insurance program, will cover your trip expenses if you missed the departure of your liveaboard because your flight was delayed, or if you have to cancel your trip as you are medically unable to dive, yet in good health otherwise. Both annual multi-trip plans include, at no additional charge, coverage for local diving (our DiveSafe plan). Single-trip coverage is available for trips up to 180 days.

Why a diving insurance?

Management of diving emergencies require specialised knowledge and skills, both on the medical and insurance side.
Whether you dive local or prefer to travel abroad, make sure a good dive insurance cover by a reliable provider is always on your checklist.

Why choose DAN?

24/7 Multilingual Diving Emergency Hotline

Why is it so special?

It’s a hotline fully dedicated to divers, managed by DAN’s medical network, handling over 5.500 emergency calls per year and offering timely assistance in case the unexpected happens.

Limitless Payment of Emergency Medical Transportation

Why do I need this? Sending out a helicopter or speedboat to assist a diver in the middle of nowhere can bear considerable costs. DAN’s reliable service providers make the process quicker and more effective.

Payment of Emergency Medical Treatment, Hyperbaric Therapy and Hospitalisation
Why is it so important? Treatment of dive injuries can be very expensive, especially abroad and when specialised care and hyperbaric therapy are required. Reliable insurance coverage is essential.
