As a PADI dive store, you’re a champion of safety, working on the front lines every day to protect your staff, your store and your student divers. Taking the necessary steps to ensure you’re covered should anything go wrong is vital – as mentioned in the PADI Dive Emergency Preparedness article, “Everyone involved in dive instruction and supervision should be properly insured – this means dive centers, dive boats, instructors and divemasters.”
As the diving industry’s largest and most respected association dedicated to scuba diving safety, Divers Alert Network Europe insurance is the only insurance broker that PADI Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) endorses. PADI EMEA launched the Accident and Liability Insurance for PADI Pros earlier this year, and now is deepening its partnership to offer emergency management and insurance services to PADI Dive Centers and Resorts in the EMEA territories. The policy is specifically designed for dive centers and resorts to protect their business, staff and student divers.
