You can purchase flood insurance thru "DAN" The information should be on their web site.

Thanks for the tip! I tried to find it from DAN Europe pages. I did not have any luck but I send an email about it. We will see

For DAN America members there seems to be a good one:

But that is no help for us here in Europe

All my gear, Rebreather, Cameras, etc, are covered on our household insurance for "loss by any reason". The insurers have a list of serial numbers and a valuation. We have done this in the UK, and now here in NZ.

Just got email from DAN Europe. They do not have anything to offer. They have done some research on the issue and come to the conclusion that the insurance would be too expensive and not their "core" business.

So that looks like a dead end

Then I need to check if I can get the stuff insured via home insurance. That still scares me...

Try Divemaster insurance in the UK. I live full time in Egypt and have taken out their worldwide cover scheme which covers me anywhere, anytime for 'accidental flooding', 'emergency jetisonning of gear' and loss/theft.
I am very happy with them and the other year my other half flooded her video and they replaced the camera, new for old and paid for the housing repairs no problem.
They are expensive, but that's normal for camera gear - about 8% of the value you want to insure I think, and you must also insure at least one piece of 'normal' dive kit with a value of at least £500 (about 700 euros I think). I just put my VR3 down, and this is very cheap.
If you e-mail sales@dive-master.net they will be able to help you hopefully or check the website at Welcome to dive master insurance - Scuba Diving and Dive Safety

Cheers!
