Do Tampa Bay marinas require proof of diver insurance?

Marinas set their own rules, and insurance is one of the most common. Knowing this ahead of time keeps your service smooth and keeps you on good terms with your dockmaster.

Why marinas ask

A marina is responsible for what happens in its waters. Requiring vendors to carry liability insurance protects the marina, its other tenants, and you if something were ever to go wrong. It’s a sign of a well-run facility — and a reason to work only with divers who carry proper coverage. A diver who can’t produce a certificate is a risk you don’t need to take.

What this means for you

• Hiring an insured diver means there’s never a paperwork hold-up at your marina.
• A certificate of insurance (COI) can usually be sent straight to the marina office on request.
• You’re protected too, because proper coverage stands behind the work on your boat.
