Is it possible that PADI Instructor's insurance or DAN's (DAN
Europe this case) instructor's or invidual member's insurance covers the
lost of Diving equipment (MARES HUB with tank and integrated weights) during the Rescue
Diver training.

Of course it was some sort of "accident" because the dive doesn't went
how planned even no medical evacuation needed. I have sent the questions
to DAN Europe, but does anyone has information or experince related the
problem? How the Instructors PADI liabilty insurance could cover the
lost?

The search will be continue in 3-5 m visibility tomorrow.

Shame about the weights. The Lost HUB is a blessing, you should pay the
Instructor Double his normal fee just doing you the favor of loosing
that for you.

There's no liability on the part of the instructor. Do you have
equipment coverage? That's the only insurance that will pay off.

Metal detector. Mmm, I'd love to have 3-5 m viz here. More like 3-5
feet.
