I'm not sure what sort of dives you do but you have several options 1)
DAN
insurance (any gas, any depth) up to $200,000 more info at
http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/insurance/
2)some insurance companies will write larger amounts but at
significantly higher
rates, (anywhere from $2 to $5 per $1,000 of death benefit) for tech
type dives
(130ft and below)

It's less a question of why certain insurance companies won't issue a
policy and more an issue of how much you are willing to pay for
coverage. 
Strangely enough the main company I work with will not issue a policy
for
someone that dives below 130 ft but will issue one for someone who cave
dives,
although at a higher rate.
If you can't get insurance and need it maybe you're talking to the wrong
agent.
