What’s the Deal with DAN Insurance?

Have you ever wondered what DAN insurance is—and if you need it? Think of it as a buddy for life’s unexpected adventures. Because while we plan for beautiful reefs and amazing dives, sometimes life throws us a tangled line!

At Atlantic Edge Scuba, we encourage divers to consider Divers Alert Network (DAN) dive accident insurance and travel protection. Here’s why:

 Protect your bubbles. DAN dive accident insurance helps cover eligible expenses from covered diving injuries, including chamber treatments, hospital care and emergency transportation. Your regular health insurance may leave gaps that could take a serious bite out of your wallet.

 Protect your getaway. You saved for this trip—don’t let an unexpected hiccup sink your vacation budget! Travel protection offered through DAN can help with covered cancellations, interruptions, delays and baggage mishaps, depending on your plan.

Check before you splash! DAN membership, dive accident insurance and travel protection are separate products. Membership alone doesn’t cover dive accident medical bills, so make sure you’ve purchased the coverage you need.

Coverage varies by plan. Policy terms, limits and exclusions apply.
