Looked into DAN a little bit more and something like this looks like it would fit my needs for the trip https://www.diversalertnetwork.org/trip/ Going to do a little more research but thanks for the tips guys!

Your choice of course, but if I'm understanding correctly, you will initially be on the hook for all expenses and billings in the event of a medical emergency. Then apply afterwards to your Blue cross to reimburse you. The coverages we are discussing will pay your bills for you upfront.
Hey all,
In a couple of weeks I'm finally getting my PADI open water certification in Mexico and couldn't be more excited!! I have one slight problem though, I am unable to find any travel insurance that will cover me while scuba diving as I am getting certified while on the trip. All of the policies I can find will only cover me if I am certified before going on the trip. Unfortunately due to time constraints this isn't really an option for me anymore, plus I'd much rather get my certification in Mexico as the water is a little warmer over there I live in BC Canada, does anybody have any suggestions for a policy that will at least cover me for the rest of the trip once I'm certified? I'm planning on doing one or two more dives once I complete the course...
Thanks in advance!

Let me see if I understand this. You have a medical issue when you are down south. The medical facility accepts your insurance and you don't have to pay. Then for various mail related reasons your blue cross doesn't pay but you have always been able to get it straightened out eventually, even though there's a little heartburn caused along the way. Is that right?
