From the DiveAssure Team
Dear Members,

DiveAssure was founded 8 years ago with a burning ambition at heart; we set to bring to the diving industry innovation that we felt was missing. We undertook to lead the diving accident and dive-travel insurance market with state-of-the-art technology, professional conduct and first rate service. We were the first to register our members on-line with instant coverage, the first to offer Primary coverage and also the first (and to this day – the only) to offer a combined diving accident and dive-travel protection policy.

The agreement we have signed with the Duke Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology at Duke University takes us to the next level. We are now able to provide our members with the best emergency medical attention available in the United States. Additionally, our latest “first” – the DDM Package – is nothing less than revolutionary.

This is the first edition of our members’ newsletter. We will continue to keep you informed from time to time on our products and services, as well as on diving medical and dive-travel issues. Thank you for taking the time to read this newsletter.

Safe and enjoyable diving!

Sincerely,
The DiveAssure team
