DAN (Divers Alert Network) is possibly the most widely recognized diver insurance. Yea, they do offer other ‘normal’ insurance services but its primarily geared towards the extremely high cost of diving-related injury. Since there’s not a lot of those, its generally cheap.
If you’re traveling 80 km away from home, they even pay up to 100k for transport/evacuation to a qualified hospital related to your injury. Here’s a list of places they DONT offer ‘evacuation services’ from:
Tibet, Antarctica, the Arctic Circle, Mongolia, Muritania, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Angola, Bosnia, Cuba, Bhutan, Haiti, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, and Russia east of the Urals.
If you’re traveling to Bhutan, shithole Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc… then you need a lot more insurance than diving anyway. But Antarctica, that makes sense. All transport in/out is either government contracted/military or private expidetion/tourism.
