This keeps coming up on threads with newbies. "Ocean dives completed; should I get DAN?" At least this lady is planning on it, but why are the Inst not signing up students on the free student plan?
BTW, if you check Accidents forum, you'll see some hot threads about students dying during DSD and even OW classes. Rare, but shouldn't they be covered by this free insurance? What is with these Insts? They don't know how to turn on a computer? I didn't when I joined Scubaboard, but I learned.
You will be happy to know that I just completed my certification last weekend with 4 open water walk-in dives from La Jolla Shores in San Diego, CA. I have my temporary card and expect my permanant one shortly. I'm leaving for the Sea of Cortez in 9 days and can't wait for warm water!! Still it was a fabulous experience... being TRAINED by a PRO! Now I want to join DAN.
Your Instructor took you to the sea without a DAN membership?Good grief! It's free for students.
Well, now is a very good time to join. Do it online, print out temporary card: DAN Divers Alert Network I suggest the middle insurance plan if not the top plan. The bottom one is only $10/yr cheaper than the middle one but has shortcomings.
:medal: Congratulations on your C-Card and have a great trip - just don't go without DAN. Time to start posting in New Divers forum.
