Hosehead 0 #1 February 25, 2008 Forgive me, I am a noobie... Is there any recommended international 3rd party insurance available? I am moving around a lot as a scuba dive instructor and am finding it tedious to have to join different country associations when I want to jump somewhere new. I was a BPA member, but now that I am not a UK resident, I am not covered for jumping outside of the UK. Same thing for CSPA. I want to jump in Spain now and they say I should sign up with the FEADA. They also have different CoC rules for A, B, FS or whatever. I don't know if I need to go for a FS1 sticker here or something else there... and I don't know which membership to attach it to. Is there anything I can stick with over time, no matter what country I am living in at the moment? Help please! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #2 February 25, 2008 Short answer, NO. There is no international system like PADI, and as far as I know no international insurance scheme that will be recognized. When you change country of residence you can just expect to have to join the national organization. If you change residence three times in one year, well, that is just the cost of moving. If you get into the professional skydiving biz your instructor ratings cost will really hurt. As far as licenses and endorsements go, you should pick an organization and get qualified at least to a C license. Most places, people will leave you alone after that. If you are moving around a lot USPA is the body that is easiest to find rated license/endorsement giver outers as well as one of the cheaper orgs to belong to if you will have to belong to a second one for insurance purposes. PS You should fill out your profile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
