I've purchased Dive+Travel insurance from DiveAssure for 10 years. They've had to help me out 3 times during this time. I've never had issues in getting things covered varying from lost dive gear, medical attention, and a hurricane evacuation. Always want DiveAssure behind me on ANY trip!

We have used Dive Assure as our dive insurance provider for several years. For the first time this year we had to make a claim. The people at Dive Assure were very prompt in assisting us to deal with the issue. Resolution of the claim was handled quickly. We felt very fortunate to have dealt with Dive Assure and will certainly continue to do so for our future dive trips.

Great service! My liveaboard trip was ruined because of weather conditions, Diveassure came in and processed my case very quickly and efficient. I will definitely use it again on my next trip.

Brilliant to deal with. I had a dive booked last year but because of covid this was changed without any problems at all. I was dealing with Rebeca who was extremely helpful in sorting out my requests and answering all my many questions

We have been lucky to choose Dive Assure, as we could not go on our Liveaboard Trip in April 2020 due to Covid-19.
Many of our group members had insurance with other insurance companies and did not get any money back- we did get our money back (apart from the 20% mentioned in the insurance conditions)!
Thanks Dive Assure Team!

excellent customer service and follow up. I have used Dive Assure for all my dive trips for about 15 years. I have filed 2 claims during this time and both were handled professionally and paid. Most recently I cancelled a live aboard trip to Indonesia due to work related issues, and was glad I purchased the live aboard rider. This ended up covering the boat costs, minus 20% deductible. That was the most expensive part of the trip, so very happy that I elected to add the rider.

Quick and easy experience. Easy to use website. I had a question about my coverage and they replied very fast. Emma was very helpful and made sure that I had the right coverage for my diving trip. I got their program with the special liveaboard protection plan, which is also primary, which I like because I only have to deal with 1 insurance company.
