The Guardian plan is available in most of the US, but not yet in 16 states.
DAN's Dive Insurance is not Trip Insurance and while it does have some befits more associated with Tip insurance, it's clear on what it does cover. The Preferred plan does not cover companion cancellation.
Emergency evacuation is different. The coverage for that is not a part of Dive insurance, but is a part of membership - and yes, it clearly states that they have to arrange it. Otherwise, higher expenses than needed and abuse would happen, and we'd pay more or lose it.

DAN states to seek help immediately, not to call them for treatment. They'll pay according to the provisions.One more case of DAN weaseling out of anything they can due to fine print, fairness be damned. I would never buy DAN insurance because of all the stipulations designed to bite you, for example, the exclusions if you don't use them to make all arraingements for your care (transport, decompression, etc.). If I take a hit, I'm going directly to get it taken care of, not waiting to make a call to DAN and waiting for them to arrainge things. I think their insurance is mostly bogus.
