– you do not yet have a diving insurance policy: AIDA Belgium offers you diving insurance with Ethias at a favorable group rate: you pay € 30 membership fee for AIDA Belgium and € 30 for insurance with Ethias = € 60 per year. You can find the Ethias insurance policy here.
– you already have a DAN insurance policy: you only pay € 30 membership fee per year for AIDA Belgium, you must then send us proof of your DAN insurance policy. You can find more information about DAN here.
– as an AIDA member you are required to have a diving insurance policy
– AIDA Belgium only recognizes Ethias and DAN as diving insurance
– a contribution is always for the current year, unless it was concluded after 1 October, then it is also valid for the following year
– Members in order for the year 2020 will also automatically obtain the membership for 2021. They must send proof of insurance and medical examination or pay 30 € for Ethias.
We also recommend that you take an effort test every few years (every 5 years to 45 years, every 2 years from 45 to 55 years, every year for more than 55 years). However, this is not mandatory.
