There is nothing wrong with making a profit. Taking advantage of thousands of people by offering "insurance" for something that almost never happens is shameful. This "insurance" is so limited that 1 in 100,000 will ever get to have any return.

That is what all insurance company's bank on........

Taking advantage? It's not so lucrative that dozens of companies are trying to get our business. We are lucky to have DAN and Dive Assure, and the costs are cheap. Coverage (other than the cheapest plan which is a dog) includes ear barotraumas too you know, and any other dive injury - and more.

No and no.

Mind if I ask why? It's your call, but curious.

Me Too!

Too what...?

Member ... because it's a worthwhile organization
Preferred Plan .. because it's only $8.75 a month (including DAN membership) ... for the price of one fast food meal a month for the highest plan offered, you can hardly make a case for not having it
I know someone who is very thankful to have had it at that level, several 100,000 dollars worth of thankful

I keep the family membership for me and my wife.
Good value, just in case.

One could say the same about Cancer or Dreaded Disease policies, but in diving it is different. DAN dive insurance covers you when other policies may not, and much more - and I think their coverage for the money is competitive.

Now, I actually knew a fellow once who had Family membership, but without dive insurance. He has both now after a close call and a realization.

I've also known some who took the cheapest coverage. It's only $10/year cheaper than the middle plan, but not nearly as good.
