We have evaculation insurance (with a $100,000 limit) for $35.00 a year (for an individual). We have friends who had a medical emergency in Bali who had this insurance. They reported that they could not possibly have asked for more service. He was hospitalized a week or two before he could travel. The insurance people called every day to discuss his condition and when he could be evacuated. When he was well enough, they flew him and his wife back to the U.S. AND THE PREMINUM FOR A COUPLE (and any unmarried children under 18 or students under 24) IS $55.00!
It's through the Diver Alert Network (
http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/)
If you decide to check it out, go to the site and click on membership--not insurance. The evacuation insurance is a membership benefit, so all you do is join as an individual or as a couple or family. The insurance tab leads to insurance for diving only, and it isn't the evacuation insurance.
The insurance is valid anytime you are at least 50 miles from home.
Anyway, since we have friends who were forced to use it, we know they come through when needed, so we now join every year--and the magazine that comes with membership has spectacular pictures as a side benefit.
They also sell travel insurance separately from diving insurance and separately from the evacuation insurance.
