Optional DAN Dive Injury Insurance - (For Residents of Australia)
The following three optional DAN Dive Injury Insurance plans are offered in addition to DAN Asia-Pacific Membership. These plans provide coverage for treatment and certain other costs associated with covered dive accidents. DAN Asia-Pacific exclusively offers Members these dive injury insurance plans only at the time of joining or renewing Membership.
While emergency evacuation benefits are included automatically with DAN Membership, it is your choice whether you add the additional dive injury (treatment) insurance coverage.
For Members electing to take out both Membership and Insurance the 80km evacuation restriction that applies to Membership only is waived in the case of a Covered Dive Accident only.
DAN dive injury insurance is available to any recreational diver or snorkeller, (including instructors and divemasters supervising recreational diving activities), who is a Member of DAN Asia-Pacific and is 12 years of age or older. It's also available to certain research divers & underwater photographers. Coverage is not available for commercial diving other than those activities specified.
