DAN Insurance is GREAT worth every penney, and goes a long way to giving you a lot of security in terms of emergency care and expenses, should you have an incident while diving; additionally, DAN professionals offer expert advice to medical professionals that treat you in a dive emergency, who otherwise might not be experienced in handling dive emergencies; cheap insurance for what you get zeN

I think NOT having the DAN insurance is a huge mistake. The benefits are excellent, the care and information they provide is top class. There was a guy here who did not want to pay any extra money for insurance and got bent somehow. He had to pay 4500 for the chamber fees. I guess he feels pretty foolish for not spending 75 on his insurance fees.

Yes, it's definitely worth it! The number of stories I've heard first-hand from bent instructors and other divers who've been helped by DAN are amazing. The common factor has been that DAN has never argued about treatment or refused payment (like some insurance companies can do, at least over here) but sorted things out immediately. $35 is cheap for peace of mind.

With most inssurance - well all of it actually - you never plan to use it, BUT if the need should arrise you will be very glad you did buy it.
It is much cheeper to have DAN for 10 years than have one DCS trip to be recompressed and have to pay for it out of your own pocket.
No one plans to get DCS but it happens butter to be safe than sorry.

I'll let you know my opinion a bit later. I'm still try to settle a claim and so far I've had a bit of a run around, lost paper work, and the regular insurance hassles. My opinion is starting to change a bit.
