For the seasoned diver, an International Diving Emergency Card or IDEC is not enough. It would be wise to purchase a travel insurance to augment the benefits provided by the IDEC. A travel insurance coupled with an IDEC will provide comprehensive coverage for the diver and every member of the family.

Divers usually travel around the world in search of the most beautiful and challenging diving sites which is the more reason that they have the utmost protection during their trips. In purchasing travel insurance for divers, it would be a wise decision to have an insurer with worldwide coverage that includes and not limited to medical and repatriation insurance.
