One of our carriers follows an aggressive approach when it comes to underwriting clients actively engaged in recreational or technical scuba diving.

Here’s an example:

• 37-year-old male non-tobacco
• 5’11”, 185 pounds
• Blood pressure 130/80
• Total cholesterol 235 and Chol/HDL ratio 5.0
• MVR and family history are unremarkable
• Dives up to 125 ft. six times a year

This carrier offers Preferred NT

The key factors include:

• Must otherwise qualify for a Preferred rate class
• Formal training before diving
• Qualified for technical diving (e.g., caving/wreck diving)
• Never dives alone

Advantages:

• No flat extra rating for dives under 150 ft.
• Competitive flat extra rates for dives over 150 ft.
• Scuba activity is considered for Preferred even if it carries an extra rating
