DB>Hadn't thought about it this way.  Good point!  Not sure I'd go so far
DB>as to say I would worry more about this than my own medical bill...
If the injured person is in your group...you are obligated to help get
him back to the states and help with the flight arrangements....even
then it will spoil your trip.....make all your travel buddies buy the
insurance package, for nothing else than your own peace of mind!
DB>OTOH, just having insurance isn't enough.  Every diver *should* belong
DB>to DAN - whether or not they buy the insurance.  The government used to
DB>fund DAN, but that funding has been cut to about 10% of what it once
DB>was.  If we, the users, aren't willing to support the research that
DB>keeps us safe, how can we justify the funding the gov't currently
DB>supplies?  User fees are the wave of the future.  Support those who
DB>support you!
I agree totally that as divers we should support the research work that
DAN is doing to further the understanding of DCS and its related
problems.
