During the enrolment / renewal online process, you can request an automated notification to be sent from DAN to your training organisation upon the activation of your plan. It goes without saying that this notification service does not replace the instructor’s obligation to fulfil the contractual duties signed for at the time of certification.

• No, your students are not automatically covered.
• However, you can cover for free a number of your entry-level students by registering them on your MyDAN.
• Furthermore, you can purchase specific insurance plans for your scuba and freediving students.

Yes, it does. In fact, the student plans have nothing to do with the professional liability insurance of your Pro Member plan.
Whether you decide or not to provide your students with an insurance coverage, this does not affect your liability cover (as long as there is one).

Yes, the subscription to DAN Europe and the related medical coverage is valid worldwide including the USA and Canada. In the specific case of the Third Party Liability and Legal Expenses policy for professional divers, the coverage applies only if you are sued in a court or according to the laws of Countries within the DAN Europe territory. The insurance companies of DAN Europe are not authorized to offer liability coverage to residents or companies registered in the territories of USA and/or Canada. Below are a few examples of how the liability coverage applies:

• If you are in the USA or Canada for an instruction trip or to accompany European students/clients, you are covered only according to the policy terms and conditions and if you are sued in a court or according to the laws applying within the DAN Europe territory. Here one has to consider the likelihood that the student or client would sue once back in Europe rather than in the USA or Canada.
• If you are in the USA or Canada for an instruction trip or to accompany European students/clients you are covered by the policy terms and conditions. Your coverage also applies if you are sued in a court of law, or according to the laws of countries within the DAN Europe territory. In this case, one has to consider the likelihood that the student or client would pursue the claim once back in Europe, rather than in the USA or Canada.
• If you are insured, and carry out professional activity in the USA or Canada not in compliance with the local immigration, or employment and insurance laws, your insurance coverage may become invalid depending on the violations of law.

• Whether you are abroad or in your home country, the diving cover is valid for one year, worldwide.
• The travel insurance included in your plan is only valid when you are travelling abroad, for maximum 30 days per trip (or longer in the Platinum level).
• Travelling days are counted from the time your current journey has started.
• By “travelling abroad” we mean any trip outside your declared country of residence.
• If you choose the Platinum level, the travel insurance will be valid for 12 months instead of just 30 days per trip.

• Country of residence means your country of permanent residence provided by you when applying for this insurance. This is the country where you will be repatriated in the event of a medical emergency, if required.
• You must indicate your actual country of residence, namely the one wherein you legally reside.
• You can indicate a different mailing address though to receive our mails.
