Scuba diving is an exhilarating adventure, but like any sport, it comes with inherent risks. DAN Dive insurance is essential for protecting divers from unexpected medical expenses that can arise from dive-related accidents such as decompression sickness (DCS), barotrauma, or other underwater emergencies. Without coverage, treatment costs—including hyperbaric chamber sessions, emergency medical evacuation, and hospital care—can quickly add up to thousands of dollars. Having dive insurance ensures that you can focus on your recovery rather than worrying about costly medical bills. At Sand Dollar Sports, we strongly recommend that all divers carry dive insurance to enjoy a worry-free experience exploring Cozumel’s stunning reefs.
