Diving Accident Insurance Programs by:

Dive Assure & Divers Alert Network

 

 

 
DiveAssure makes available to the recreational diving community insurance protection during diving activities. As a member of the recreational diving community, we have made arrangements with National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., to provide insurance coverage to our association's members, so that should you need any medical or rescue assistance, you'll be covered, no matter where, no matter when.

Most medical and travel policies simply don't cover diving risks. A diving accident can involve major medical and related expenses. The insurance & assistance programs, made available to you through your membership in DiveAssure association, are designed specifically for divers, and gives you full coverage in case of a diving accident.

Why take the risk?
Now, with insurance protection through your membership in DiveAssure association, you can have the comprehensive coverage you need to enjoy your diving vacation. For as little as $75, DiveAssure gives you immediate membership that includes coverage for a full year. And we offer worldwide, immediate claim and travel assistance 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Before you gear up, or when preparing for your diving vacation, spend the few minutes it takes to become a DiveAssure member. Just ask about DiveAssure, and we'll have you covered before you take the plunge.

It's simple. Just complete the short online application form and that's it, You're Covered!

It's secure. Our web site is fully secured with the latest electronic commerce technologies. All information is forwarded directly to us and is maintained with the utmost confidentiality.

It's fast. It only takes about three minutes from the time you ask to apply for membership until your application is approved over the Internet, and you receive your membership certificate.

Now you're DiveAssured!
