Couldn’t agree more. No diver should dive without coverage, it’s just not worth it.
I use DiveAssure (https://diveassure.com/en-intl/home/?pid=8879) whenever I dive abroad. Their coverage is primary and offers the most coverage for your money. There’s a good and informative comparison between DiveAssure and DAN at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de6RuXgwO6M&t=1s.
@HaloTricksandTips Genius!
@nick0sav oh, dont scare me, that sucks, lol…recently i went snorkelling at ewens ponds in south Australia and it was hurting as i went down but i was equalizing my ears but sinuses weren't equalizing, so i put up with the intense pain, i was at a depth of 11 metres which the deepest depth there and then all the pain went…do you know whats going on?
It`s a serious reason to visit a doctor. Sinuses inflammation may obstruct the additional inner volumes(not ears). And so there is a real threat of destruction of some bones while diving. Don`t even try to dive before you get to know what exactly is really going on. It may occur to be extremely dangerous.
I have a problem. When i go snorkelling/scuba diving, i cant dive deep very far because of pressure in my sinuses, i have no problems equalizing pressure in my ears but my sinuses do no equalize at all. Please Help
lol don't screw up & know what you're doing & handeling with & you dont need DAN, but yes for most typical divers DAN is the best Insurence out there. Look at the website & they will fill you in more about what they cover.
