LIFE HAPPENS
While learning to dive is relatively safe, there are inherent risks. From minor injuries such as ear issues or a slip-and-fall to more serious dive related injuries, this coverage helps ensure you can learn confidently knowing you’re protected.
YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE MIGHT NOT COVER YOU
Some health insurance plans exclude coverage for adventure sport and scuba diving injuries. Others may have large deductibles or co-pays for treatment.
DIVING-RELATED INJURIES CAN BE EXPENSIVE
Students can get hurt during training and medical treatment can cost thousands.

A new world is about to open up to you filled with breathtaking discoveries and once-in-a- lifetime experiences. Go ahead - dive in. Your dive centre and instructor are committed to your safety. Which is why, as a precaution, you will be enrolled in DAN’s Student Medical Expense Coverage program.

This complimentary insurance, fully subsidised by DAN, covers you in the unlikely event of a dive injury during your entry-level training. As a diving-related injury or illness can set you back thousands, it pays to be prepared.

Your coverage lasts for 6 weeks after course registration or until your last certifying dive, whichever comes first. We encourage you to join nearly 500,000 divers worldwide who believe in DAN’s mission of dive safety.
