Hi Roy

Dan Europe a good bet it covers both Tec and CCR as long as you are certified to dive to the levels you plan and it generally accepted worldwide.

Cheers

Dan Europe are okay up to 130 metres beyond that you have to have your dive plan approved for them to cover you.

be careful with the DAN insurance- reading the small print...
the do not cover diving with fixed gas percentages (translate that as you will)- or the use of enriched air for deco stops ! (bizarre).

The other insurance looked good, but none- americans cannot book it online(the old trap of not having a state we can select, even when the country option is sortable)...

Thanks guys..

My reading of the terms & conditions is that this only applies if insuring as a dive guide, instructor or other pro & doesn't apply to "jo average" diver. Related to liability insurance.
