New Liability Insurance Programme
SSI and the DiveAssure Association have announced another big step in their global business cooperation. As of January 2018, DiveAssure will be entrusted with running the liability insurance program for SSI Dive Centers, Resorts and Professionals.
The liability insurance plan that was previously offered to SSI Dive Centres through AIG will no longer be available after December 31st, 2017. The new program takes over as of January 1st, 2018 with a new policy issued by CNA Hardy – one of the largest insurance corporations in the world. The new liability policy terms will be pretty much the same as those of the already known AIG policy. Policy limit will be €20 million per claim and €40 million aggregate – by far; the highest level of coverage in the industry, while rates will still be very competitive.
The DiveAssure plans are annual and can be purchased any time throughout the year. Unlike the outgoing program, the new plan will be available also to non-SSI Dive Centres and to individual diving professionals. Information and registration will be available online as of December 1st, 2017 with effective date starting January 1st, 2018.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
