Extra insurance now on all Daycourses and PADI Open Water Courses

When diving in Spain, the laws require that every diver is covered by both suitable medical insurance and a type of 3rd party insurance called 'responibilidad civil'. For most tourists this is not a problem, as their holiday insurance will cover both of these. However there may be some people, such as residents or backpackers or long term visitors who are unaware that these are not covered entirely by their policy. To prevent anybody having a nasty shock when their insurer tries to wriggle out of any payments, we obviously work extremely hard to make sure that we have no accidents in the first place, and indeed our Daycourse and Open water students have a 99.998% safety record. (Yes, just two non-fatal incidents in aproximately 10,000 dives). However, just in case of a future problem, we have taken out a group policy with a Spanish Insurer which guarantees to cover all medical and legal issues for every single day-course and Open Water Student that we teach. So rest assured, you do not need to dig out that policy and check it word for word before your dive .. we've got you covered.
