Underwater Camera Kit Insurance

Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a decent company for insuring underwater camera
equipment? I know of Divemaster, but was wondering if there are any
others.

I've just insured all my kit with DEPP http://www.equipmentprotection.com/

I think there may be several advantages to DEPP over Divemaster. DEPP is US
based but coverage is worldwide, Divemaster only cover outside the EU for 90
days without an additional 50% premium IIRC. The additional premium for
flood protection is 4% with DEPP and 8% with Divemaster. For me the premium
was just over £200 to cover £6500 of kit of which more than a third is also
covered against flooding. The only requirement is that you insure at least
1 reg, 1 BC and one other dive related item. From other reports their
claims process is pretty good. Hopefully I won't have to find out for my
self.
