TRAVEL & COVID INSURANCE AND TRIP INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR "SAFE IN NATURE" DOMINICA:
Covid insurance is part of trip insurance if you purchase trip insurance from DiveAssure.com. They are easy to file a claim and pay quickly if you need to use them. They are also VERY proactive if you use their DIVE INSURANCE as well. You can get a 'one time policy' an 'annual policy' a combo 'trip and dive insurance policy' or just 'dive or trip' insurance policy. Basically anything you want...they have it.
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: During covid AND ALL CHAOTIC TRAVEL TIMES SUCH AS HIGH FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS...WEATHER ETC...all SingleDivers.com trips will REQUIRE the following:
- Trip Insurance* (Dominica is not easy to get to...if it were it would look like the rest of the Caribbean + trip insurance covers all injury and sickness that happens OUT of the water.)
- Covid Insurance (Not all trip insurance covers covid so make sure you get a policy that does. DiveAssure.com does)
- Dive Insurance (this has ALWAYS been required on SingleDivers.com trips and covers everything that happens IN the water.)
* While we can not force you you to actually buy trip insurance, please understand that we have 'REQUIRED' it now for every trip while in the pandemic and to certain venues that are typically difficult to get too such as Dominica. Therefore, SingleDivers.com and all suppliers will not be in a position to refund any monies nor give any credits because of your 'self-insuring' during a pandemic and an ever changing world. Please be proactive and protect yourself and your investment. If you choose to 'gamble' the odds on your trip, please understand that no one can further help you unless you have very extreme extenuating circumstance that prevented you from getting trip insurance. Being a gambler is not an extenuating circumstance. To take the sting out of the price of trip insurance...consider an annual policy that covers a small rolling amount of say $1500 to $2000 to provide enough coverage to prevent a total loss.
RETURNING TO THE US:
As of Jun 12, 2022 the US ceased requiring US Citizens to test negative to return home. YAY!!! Hopefully this is permanent decision but check back to verify if it has changed.
