thank you!
The one I've been a member of for decades is DAN - Divers Alert Network.
"Individual Membership ($35/year)
Membership dues include
TravelAssist, a subscription to Alert Diver magazine and a number of other valuable benefits, including eligibility to join the ranks of prepared divers with DAN's exclusive dive accident insurance program.
Family Membership ($55/year)
For an additional $20 per year, you can add as many eligible family members to your membership as you desire.
TravelAssist (link)
As a DAN Member, you automatically receive DAN
TravelAssist and up to $100,000 of evacuation assistance coverage. This benefit is effective for both diving and nondiving medical emergencies. Evacuation coverage begins when you travel on a trip at least 50 miles (80 km) from home and call the DAN Emergency Hotline (+1-919-684-9111) for assistance or evacuation.
When you purchase an individual or family DAN Membership, you are automatically enrolled in DAN's travel assistance plan. When you travel on a trip at least 50 miles (80 km) from your place of residence, DAN TravelAssist arranges emergency medical evacuations for any medical emergency and provides additional benefits for you and your eligible family members.
IMPORTANT: DAN TravelAssist must arrange ALL evacuations. Call +1-919-684-9111 for assistance. (This number can be called collect if you are outside the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, British or U.S. Virgin Islands.) If you make your own emergency evacuation arrangements, DAN TravelAssist will not reimburse the cost.
Much more with the link above. No age limits. DAN USA requires USA residence. I do know people who have used it - a friend had a non-diving related eye injury was medevacced from the Cancún (Mexico) area to her California home city after initial treatment locally, as well as translation assistance and iirc she was advanced some money for expenses (limit as a member $5,000).
DAN also offer trip (conventional per trip cancellation and interruption insurance), annual travel insurance (we carry that) and insurance products for divers (I've been a diver 60 years).
