It’s easy to understand why the property and liability coverage for dive shops is so hard to place. The most vital parts related to underwater survival are equipment and proper training.

Mistakes or failures related to the two factors can have dire consequences: grave injuries or loss of life.

Diving accidents, slips and falls, or further mishaps can prompt related lawsuit.

As pre the insurance companies, prior to any diving activity, perspective divers must undergo rigorous training and earn certification from instructors, verifying the ability to endure being underwater for an extended time.

Among other forms of protection, related insurance coverage can include the following:

• Commercial General Liability
• Personal Property
• Professional Liability

The personal property aspect of the policy is associated with the costly goods and equipment that is sold or rented by the diving shops.

Swimming pools at the dive shops locations are also covered under the personal property insurance.

Professional Liability Insurance may also be referred to as Errors and Omissions Insurance. This is an option offered by the insurance carriers that is reserved only for qualified instructors.
