This discussion focuses on classical travel insurance, not the far more limited dive accident insurance, or DAN H20 or DEPP dive & photo gear insurance.

Doc,

Several years ago I looked at purchasing an annual travel cancellation insurance policy. I was able to locate a few offered at reasonable prices (about $100 per year) in the UK and Canada, but po;icies were not offered to US residents. I never did get a close look at the policies, so I can't attest to the extent of their coverage.

I suspect that the Brits and Canadians may have reasonably priced travel insurance avaialable to them. Maybe a few of them might add to this discussion.

BTW, Like you, I've refused to pony up the outrageous premiums. 5+ percent is ridiculous. I'd be surprised if travel agents didn't get a big cut, perhaps accounting for a good-sized piece of the premium.

Don
