Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances, including trip cancellation, delays, or emergencies. Here is a link for travel Insurance.   


DAN Membership

A Diver's Alert Network (DAN) Membership is essential for divers, especially when traveling outside the United States, because it provides access to emergency medical and evacuation services tailored to diving accidents. Many international destinations lack specialized medical facilities for dive-related injuries, and DAN ensures that divers receive the care they need, including hyperbaric treatment and transportation. Additionally, DAN’s global network offers peace of mind, knowing expert assistance is just a call away, no matter how remote the location.
