Does anyone else have this problem & more importantly, can you suggest a
scuba savvy insurance company who don't increase the premium this badly?
I'm looking anywhere but Royal Liver

I went with the Nigel Hewitt view of "I haven't died yet - not even once..."

However when I was trying to decide, someone suggested Norwich Union as a
reasonable bet.

Hey not fair.
When I had dependants I had life insurance that
covered "Competitive Motorsport".

I don't need life insurance now. The kids get
the house and they can fight over custody of
the dog.

While I've got you...
Any Icebreakers pictures?

Norwich Onion have just (ie in today's post) loaded us on our new mortgage
insurance and were incredibly thorough (hmm, perhaps picky is a better word)
in their questions. However, it was nowhere near the increase quoted by
Hilary. From memory it went from £30 to £70.

Questions about diving beyond 50m and internal wreck exploration kinda "turn
points into prizes".

Per month? Loaded?
This kind of implies you are thus paying £250 (or more!) per month for
insurance against your life?
£3000k a year?
Are you 70? Do you have a house worth a million?

Maybe I'm out of touch, but surely life insurance is not that expensive?

I've just got an online quote for NU, as a 40yr old smoker of only £40pm
(ok, no mention of diving asked or in their T and C's) and DAN will
cover me for X million for killing a student for £120 per year.

Something wrong somewhere.

Hi Guys
Many thanks, will check out Norwich Union & while some days I may feel 100

I'll make enquiries & I knew you guys could help, thanks

No insurance is cheapest ! (i.e. first direct)

Probably only sensible if you do not have any dependants/responsibilies..
