Dogtag Dive Press Release
Dogtag Makes Splash in Scuba Insurance Market
Dogtag, the award-winning travel insurance for action-minded
travellers, has launched a new product for the sub aqua market
which guarantees divers ultimate peace of mind both in the water
and out.
Dogtag Dive travel insurance has been carefully
developed to cater for all the needs of the modern scuba diver with
a scuba diving insurance policy which maximises their safety and
remains fully competitive on cover and cost.
Like all the best ideas, the concept behind Dogtag is simple: A
Dogtag Dive insurance policyholder is issued with surgical-grade
stainless steel dogtag. Engraved on the back of the dogtag is the
diver's name, their unique identification number and a dedicated
web address so that should they get into difficulty and emergency
services are called, medics can verify their insurance details.
Quite simply, in many parts of the world, divers who encounter
problems may have difficulty getting immediate medical attention.
This is normally because it is impractical to carry a flimsy paper
document which verifies their insurance details.
Crucially, the Dogtag ID number also provides medics instant
access via a website to vital medical and personal information
including next of kin details, their blood type, current medication
and allergies. The Dogtag also carries a 24/7 medical rescue phone
number.
The launch of Dogtag Dive travel insurance follows the
international success of the original Dogtag ski and snowboard
product, Founded after Director Dave Rice suffered an accident on
the slopes and was unable to provide immediate evidence to medics
that he was properly insured - resulting in a delay to his medical
attention, Dogtag has set the bench mark for sports travel
insurance.
"We are confident that Dogtag Dive travel insurance will help
maximise the enjoyment of any diving holiday, and therefore become
an essential part of every diver's kit," said Dogtag Director, Mike
Welby. "We have exhaustively consulted many of the world's most
experienced divers to put together the ultimate diving insurance
policy which will allow beginners and experts to be safe in the
knowledge that should anything go wrong, they have the correct
level of travel insurance cover and will be in the right
hands."
Key elements of Dogtag Dive insurance policy include: up to
£2,000 insurance cover for diving equipment with a single item
limit of £500, up to £50 per day for loss of diving days due to
illness, and up to £40 per day cover for hire of diving gear should
it be lost in transit. The policy, of course, also covers search
and sea rescue and hyperbaric chamber treatment. Shark diving,
wreck diving and night diving are all included in the cover.
This all comes on top of the standard Dogtag travel insurance
policy which features competitive rates of cover for cancellation,
lost or delayed luggage, sickness or injury, legal protection and
much more.
Mike Welby added: "We believe that Dogtag Dive is the finest
diving travel insurance available on the market, and one which is
unrivalled in its ability to allow divers freedom of expression
without putting into jeopardy their personal safety. Clarity is
also important to us which is why our policy wording makes it
abundantly clear to our customers what they are covered for on
their travels."
DOGTAG DIVE Annual multi-trip insurance policies start from just
£92.

insurance choice for action-minded travellers whether they are
