FAQ

1. Who can purchase this PADI-endorsed DAN Europe insurance?

Only PADI members who have renewed for the current year.

2. What kind of coverage will I obtain from this plan?

  • Diving medical emergencies – worldwide, for 365 days.
  • Non-diving medical emergencies – only when you travel abroad, for max. 90 days a year.
  • Professional liability (optional) – compatible with PADI-EMEA requirements, valid worldwide except in the USA and Canada.

Note: if you reside outside of the European Economic Area, Egypt or Maldives, professional liability may not be available. Please get in touch for information on your country.

3. Is a standard travel insurance included other than the diving insurance?

  • This plan features a coverage for non-diving related medical emergencies abroad, but it is not comparable to a standard travel or health insurance. Please read the insurance policy and the cover limits for more information.
  • You are not required to let us know whenever you travel outside of your country of residence.

4. How does this PADI-endorsed plan differ from the standard DAN Europe Pro Plans?

Same great coverage as the Pro Silver, with some important differences:

  • free accident coverage for your students up to divemaster course (Pro Silver: up to OWD);
  • free accident coverage for an unlimited number of students (Pro Silver: max. 40 students per year);
  • more convenient price;
  • specifically designed for PADI EMEA members.

5. I am already a DAN Europe member. Can I switch from my current plan to this one?

  • Yes, provided that the residual value of your current insurance is lower than the cost of the new plan.
  • To check whether you can update your insurance, try and purchase this plan via your account.

6. Will my students benefit from dive accident coverage?

Yes, provided that:

  • you register them on your MyDAN before the course starts;
  • they are attending one of the following PADI courses: DSD, OWD, AOWD, Specialties, Rescue, Divemaster, Basic Freediver, Freediver, Advanced Freediver, Master freediver; or equivalent courses under other training agencies.

7. Does my professional liability insurance stay valid if I am not registering any student?

Yes, it does stay valid. Whether you decide or not to provide your students with an insurance coverage, this does not affect your professional liability insurance.

8. Is my insurance valid in the US and Canada?

  • The accident cover is valid worldwide, including the USA and Canada. E.g.: if you suffer from a dive accident in the United States, your medical expenses will be covered according to your policy.
  • The professional liability cover is not applicable in all jurisdictions of United States of America or Canada. E.g.: if you are sued in the United States of America or Canada, your policy will not cover.

9. I work and dive abroad. Which country of residence shall I indicate on my profile?

  • The country where you are registered as a permanent resident, which is not necessarily the one where you happen to work or dive.
