CSA Travel Protection Announces Partnership with Divers Alert Network

CSA Travel Protection (CSA) owned by Europ Assistance Group, a global leader in assistance and insurance products and services, and Divers Alert Network (DAN), the leader in dive and travel safety, announced today a strategic partnership agreement that enables DAN to market CSA Travel Protection's travel insurance policies to divers and adventure travelers.

"CSA was thrilled to be approached by DAN to develop customized travel insurance products for their members," says Bob Chambers, VP of Operations at CSA Travel Protection. "We worked closely with DAN to develop per-trip and annual plans tailored to the unique travel needs of dive enthusiasts, and we're very excited about bringing these valuable products to the marketplace."

"These new plans offer a wide range of coverage that can be beneficial to business or leisure travelers," said Dr. Panchabi Vaithiyanathan, Chief Operating Officer at Divers Alert Network. "DAN's more than 30 years of experience in emergency travel assistance has helped to shape the coverage and both of these programs are outstanding. With these plans, people can travel smarter with protection against unforeseen events anywhere around the world," added Vaithiyanathan.

DAN's new Trip Insurance provides valuable travel protection for one special trip whereas DAN's new Annual Travel Insurance plan is ideal for individuals who take multiple trips throughout the year. Complete details are available on the insurance section of DAN's website and the plans can be purchased by members and nonmembers alike at http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/travel/.
