Daxter:In the paperwork I do believe that it is stated that for a claim you will be in contact directly with AIG. It is one of their big selling points that you are getting ins from AIG which is a large Ins co. As for getting ins directly I dont belive AIG sells it that way, could be wrong. Remember ins companies dont think divers are sane people .
pilot fish:Is that spelled out when you get insured? What is the function of Dive Assure? If they have no function other than placing the policy with an underwrite, AIG, why not go directly to AIG.
Now that I think of it, AIG is only an underwriter, co-insurer?
Diver Dennis:Is the International Plan primary insurance as well?
DiveAssure:Yes, AIG is the underwriter. DiveAssure is an association which created membership programs that include diving insurance.
You can not get this insurance through AIG directly as it is DiveAssure's and can only be obtained by being a DiveAssure member.
All of our written materials specifically say that the insurance is provided by AIG and that claims are handled by AIG Claim Services.
