Dan Europe for insurance.

Hope you have a fab time! I'm sooo jealous! We went on the Juliet 3 years ago - at the beginning of November. The water was so lovely and warm. We wore 2-3mm wetsuits all week. Some of the guys just wore t shirts and shorts to dive in, but I would recommend a long wetsuit as 1) those in shorts got grazed by coral when they were swept onto the reef one day, and 2) somebody in shorts cut his leg on the Thistlegorm on the night dive.

Have a fab time, and I can't wait to read your trip report!

As Fiona says, you should get assurance based on your diving qualifiaction depth.

As for the depth issue, you've asked about twins... so I take it you are qualified to dive below 30m, then I'd double check your maximum depth limit... there have been a couple of incidents that I can think of this year, where insurance company's have argued the toss about exceeding depth limits when faced with paying out (one in particular was quite hotly debated on here, and other forums).

In blue water it is soooooooo much easier to feel that bit more complacent about depths, 40m meters in the Red Sea could feel like say, 25m in the UK (just a 'for example')...

If you don't get the right insurance, you could find you (or, heaven forbid, others) have got a real fight on their hands.

Best of luck sorting it, enjoy the diving!

I would say DAN as well, but make sure you let them co-ordinate the rescue, which means phoning them before going to a pot apparently!

At the risk of hijacking the thread, anyone know the official depth limit for a PADI DM and a BSAC Dive Leader? Ta.

I'm sure you'll enjoy Juliet. I spent a great week aboard last year.
Tip: take a travel adapter and a multiway extension lead/adapter for all your pluggy inny thingies and every one elses. There was a severe shortage of adapters and places to plug them in on my trip.
