Camera Insurance

[Sam]

Can anyone recommend a company that does good digital camera insurance.  Ideally looking for something that would cover replacement/repair should the camera housing flood.

thanks

You could try http://www.dive-master.net/

But they will probably want you to insure your other dive kit as well.

Wouldnt an extension to your household contents cover it, all-risks or whatever they call it, to include accidental damage away from the home, unless its hugely expensive gear, like how is not going to be, they probably wouldnt even want to itemise it.

Give em call - see what they say.

I added my Olympus camera, UW housing and strobe on to my household package &nbsp;- valued at £2000. This cost me about £2 more a month. I had to get them to understand that if I got my hand bit off by a shark, or dropped it into the abyss that I would be claiming. They were Ok with this as long as i extended my outdoor accidental loss bit for no extra charge !!!!

I use Direct line.

I also use DiveMaster insurance for all my dive kit, they do camera extentions to that. &nbsp;Covers everything. &nbsp;I have only ever claimed for a dive computer which was dealt with very quickly, I was surprised when they beleived my unbeleiveable reason for claiming. &nbsp;I couldn't have made it up. &nbsp;

Sitting on the tubes in our club rib on the way back to the beach at Aberdaron, I noticed my computer had slipped down my arm and was only in place due to the lanyard which was attached the those little plastic covers, I released the buckle to tighten it when we hit a wave, my arm went over the side of the rib like riding a bucking bronko and when I looked down all I was left with was the lanyard and the plastic cover. &nbsp;The computer had come off through the velcro fastenings. &nbsp;Believe me this is true. &nbsp;

Now I have a new one which as follows: &nbsp;Plastic cover still held on by velco strap but the lanyard is now secured to the strap not the cover. &nbsp;I did also attached a small D ring to the arm of my other suit and clip to that as well. Since changed suits and not got round to belt and braces approach.
