Sorry didn't see the thread until just now. Last year I was under my own insurance offered through SSI. They seemed reasonable, but since it was my first "go round" I can't say for sure. This year my LDS has obtained a group policy through another insurance company (through TDI,... I think). At our shop the insurance is split between all the instructors & the Dive Cons, since they are not typically paid for their assistance, are covered at no cost to them. Sorry I couldn't be of much more help.
