After DEMA, we published an
article about the new Divers
Equipment Protection Program
(DEPP), an insurance program
designed specifically for diving and
photographic equipment. Since then, DEPP has made some additions:
1) Coverage is good worldwide, no matter what country you
live in; 2) ALL scuba diving and photographic equipment is covered;
3) If equipment is temporarily lost or misplaced by the airlines, DEPP
will reimburse you up to $150 for rental equipment; 4) There is NO
maximum dollar limit on the amount of equipment you can insure;
and 5) enrollment becomes effective within twenty-four hours of
calling or faxing your application.
DEPP has also added flood coverage for camera equipment. For
an additional $35 per camera per year, you can cover both your
housings and any lenses attached at the time of the flood up to
$2,500. You may also enroll your housings and strobes separately if
you need more coverage.
