# Add dive insurance

> Add your dive insurance policy with its insurer, plan, policy number, expiry date and the number to call, and see how the expiry date feeds home.

To add dive insurance, open **certifications & insurance**, tap **add insurance**, choose your insurer, add the expiry date and the phone number to call, and tap **save**. Only the insurer is required. The expiry date is what lets SCUBAzen warn you when cover is running out, and the phone number becomes a **call** button you can tap from a boat.

## Add a policy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the form">
    On the **certifications & insurance** page, tap **add insurance** at the foot of the **insurance** section. The form opens titled **insurance**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the insurer">
    Under **details**, pick from **insurer**: **DAN**, **DiveAssure** or **other**. If you pick **other**, type the company in **insurer name**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the rest">
    Add the **plan**, the policy **number**, the **expiry date** and the **phone number** to call in an emergency.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add card photos (optional)">
    Under **card**, tap **add photo** for **front of card** and **back of card**, then choose **gallery** or **camera**. Adding a photo needs a connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Tap **save** at the top right.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you tap **save** without an insurer, the app says "choose an insurer before saving" and keeps what you typed.

Text fields hold up to 80 characters; a line reading **80 characters max** appears when you reach the limit. Tap the **×** beside the expiry date to clear it.

## View a policy

Open a policy from the list. The top of the page shows the insurer, the plan, the expiry date and how it stands:

* "expires in 20 days", "expires tomorrow" or "expires today" when it runs out within 60 days
* "expired yesterday" or "expired 3 days ago" once it has passed
* **expires** when it's further off than that

Below that are the card photos, then **policy number** with a **copy** button, and the phone number.

### Call your insurer

Tap the phone number row (it shows **call** on the right) to open your phone's dialer with the number filled in. Spaces, brackets and dashes in the number are fine. If the phone can't start a call, the app tells you to dial the number yourself.

If the number you saved has no digits the phone can dial, the row shows the number but doesn't offer **call**.

## How the expiry date feeds home

Home reads the expiry dates of your policies and goes by the one that runs latest, since that's the policy covering you. Policies with no expiry date are ignored, and having no insurance on file is never flagged as a problem.

**With a trip ahead,** home compares your insurance with the day you come home. If cover runs out before then, home lists it among the things to sort before you go, with a line such as "your insurance expires 4 days into your trip" or "your insurance expires before you leave". If the cover has already lapsed, the line reads "your insurance has expired". While that line is showing, home's paperwork button reads **paperwork · not ready yet**.

The paperwork page runs the same check against the same trip, so it shows the same line and reads **not ready yet** too. See [Get ready for a trip](/docs/trips/readiness).

**With no trip,** home mentions your insurance when a policy has expired or expires within 60 days, for example "insurance expires in 12 days".

Keeping an old policy after you renew is fine: home and the wallet go by the renewal, so the expired one never shows as a warning.

Tap the insurance line on home to come straight to this page.

## Edit or delete a policy

Open the policy and tap the pencil. Change what you need and tap **save**, or tap the **×** at the top to stop without saving.

To delete it, start editing, scroll to the foot of the page and tap **delete insurance**, then confirm with **delete**.

<Warning>
  Deleting removes the policy and its card photos from your account. It can't be undone. Photos saved on your phone aren't touched.
</Warning>

Saving and deleting work offline; the app tells you the change will sync when you're back online.
