How DiveAssure Dive Insurance Works

 

Dive Assure is a specialized diving insurance provider that offers coverage for diving accidents, emergency medical treatment, evacuations, and travel-related incidents. Unlike many standard health or travel insurance policies, DiveAssure is designed specifically for scuba divers.

How It Works

If you experience a diving accident, such as decompression sickness (DCS), an arterial gas embolism, or another diving-related injury:

  1. Seek emergency medical treatment.
  2. Contact DiveAssure's emergency assistance service.
  3. DiveAssure coordinates medical care and, when necessary, evacuation and transportation.
  4. Eligible expenses are paid directly to providers or reimbursed according to the policy terms. DiveAssure emphasizes direct payment to hospitals, hyperbaric chambers, and evacuation providers whenever possible.

What Is Typically Covered?

  • Decompression Sickness (DCS)
  • Arterial Gas Embolism (AGE)
  • Hyperbaric chamber treatments
  • Emergency medical expenses
  • Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation
  • Hospital and physician charges
  • Travel assistance services
  • Damage or loss of diving equipment resulting from a covered diving accident (depending on the plan)

Technical Diving Coverage

One of DiveAssure's most notable features is that many plans cover:

  • Technical diving
  • Mixed-gas diving
  • Rebreather diving
  • Cave diving
  • Ice diving

Coverage is generally available as long as the diver is properly trained and follows the standards of their certification agency. Some plans have no specific depth limit when diving within certification standards.

Additional Travel Protection

DiveAssure also offers plans that combine dive accident coverage with travel insurance benefits, including:

  • Trip cancellation and interruption
  • Lost or delayed baggage
  • Travel medical expenses
  • Missed liveaboard departures
  • Travel delays and other trip-related issues
