Dive Insurance - What Do You Do?

[dfreeman]

I have a DAN membership for the travel insurance. Since I travel internationally a lot for work, my personal insurance has been extended to cover me internationally. My insurance will cover all diving related treatments.

State of Wisconsin Historical Society, NOAA and AUS requires all project divers to have it. I notice alot more charters requiring it now too. Most other projects i've heard of also require it, i'm sure even DNR require it these days and i've heard of some instructors requiring it especially for technical classes. One thing to note if I remember correctly is they don't cover some stuff for accidents less than 50 miles from home.

If I recall, it's just the travel expenses.
