Your Safety Net for Every Dive – And Every Trip
Relax – We’ve Got You Covered
Free Coverage for PADI Open Water Students
- Up to $25,000 USD in medical expense coverage for dive-related injuries
- Valid for 180 days from enrollment or until your final qualifying dive
- Covers accidents that happen during training, both in and out of the water
- Applies to both scuba diving and breath-hold (freediving) entry-level training
- Zero cost — DAN covers the premium, not you
Why Additional Coverage Is a Smart Move
If you’re continuing your education with Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, Divemaster, or IDC Intructor training — or just diving for fun — DAN’s paid short-term or annual plans offer powerful peace of mind.
Even the best-prepared divers can face unexpected situations:
- Ear barotrauma that requires hospital treatment
- Cuts, sprains, or stings requiring medication
- Decompression sickness that needs chamber treatment
- Evacuation from a remote dive site to a hospital
In Moalboal, while we’re lucky to have a strong local medical network, the nearest hyperbaric chamber is in Cebu City — around 3–4 hours away. In the rare case of an emergency, DAN can cover the cost of evacuation and treatment, which could otherwise be thousands of dollars.
Regular travel insurance rarely includes this kind of dive-specific protection.

Why Most Travel Insurance Isn’t Enough
Even the best travel insurance plans often exclude scuba diving or place it under “extreme sports,” which means you’re left unprotected when it matters most. Those that do include diving may not cover:
- Chamber treatments or recompression therapy
- Medical evacuation by boat, helicopter, or plane
- Extended hospitalization
- Loss of dive gear or trip interruptions caused by dive accidents
DAN is different — they specialize in diving. And when you’re dealing with dive-specific emergencies, you want an insurance provider that understands what you’re up against and has the global network to respond.
Worldwide Support with Local Backup
DAN isn’t just a name on a card — they operate a 24/7 emergency hotline and maintain a global network of trusted dive medicine professionals and facilities. And yes, that includes the Philippines.
If something goes wrong, DAN coordinates with local hospitals, emergency transport services, and recompression facilities to make sure you get the help you need quickly and without confusion.
Here in the Central Visayas region, DAN works closely with the Philippine Commission on Sports Scuba Diving (PCSSD), which operates a modern recompression chamber located at the TIEZA building in Mandaue, Cebu. This chamber is equipped to handle a range of dive emergencies, including decompression sickness and other pressure-related injuries.
So whether you’re diving in Moalboal, Santander, or nearby islands, help is within reach — and DAN will be coordinating everything behind the scenes.
