VERDICT

Should I use aqua med?

24/7 dive and travel medical emergency service (Tauchernotruf) - aqua-med.eu

Depends. Buy the basic €60/year dive card if you dive regularly, especially abroad — that is cheap for 24/7 dive-medical cover and a hotline. Skip it if you rarely dive or don't dive at all; standard travel insurance likely fits better.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 8 usable public sources; several search results matched unrelated companies (Aqua Security, Aqua Medical Inc., a spa) and were excluded.

Cheap €60/yr dive-medical cover with 24/7 hotline. Great for regular divers; pointless if you never dive.
