Diver's Alert Network
Your primary medical insurance may exclude scuba diving as a
hazardous recreational activity and/or may not provide coverage
when you are traveling out of the country. If it does provide

coverage, it may pay only a minimal amount for chamber treatments. There are also often large out-of-pocket payments for deductibles and co-pays. These alone can total thousands of dollars. 

The DAN Dive Accident Insurance Plans are recognized worldwide. The DAN plans provide secondary coverage of up to $500,000 and pay 100% of eligible expenses.
