Why does someone with a .de website insure their diving using some company based in Malta?

Based on this interaction, you have wonder what it's like to file a claim with them.

Absolutely horrible according to DIVE TALK

Insurance company would not cover a decompression chamber for someone who has severe decompression sickness, it is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate remediation.

The idea that you possible neurological DCS and you must argue on the phone with an insurance rep about if you need to be life-flighted to the nearest chamber is just.... Mind blowing

Divers Alert Network, which is probably the most well known dive membership (and insurance) org out there is registered in Malta in Europe.

It is probably among the standard forms required to participate in a diving class/excursion for travelers from other countries; and, Malta was probably chosen as the official HQ for legal or liability shelter reasons.
