Or maybe in the diving community, "Maltese insurance company for divers" is about as subtle as "Bird-themed social network with blue checkmarks".

There's pretty much only one global insurer affiliated with dive schools, so this is spot on

I'm a diver, DAN is the only company I can name that specialises in diving insurance. Huh, apparently they're registered in Malta, what a coincidence...

      yeah, so many software engineers are not verify "ai search results". Hey people, llm generated search results aren't reliable, might well have hallucinations. You have to verify anything they say.

        My favourite was a search result based ai digest suggesting that during storms large cargo ships could survive for days until eventually 'disappearing'; Perplexed (intended), I followed the citation, the source actually said that the storms themselves would persist for days until disappearing.

      Even better, one that specifically says "I don't know if that's it for sure"

  I read that entire article thinking it said driving instructor. Doesn't really change anything but it makes so much more sense that he's a part time diving instructor.

well, it is. quick search revealed a name of a certain big player, although there are some other local companies whose policies can be extended to "extreme sports" https://www.reddit.com/r/scuba/comments/1r9fn7u/apparently_a_diving_insurer_lost_user_data https://www.reddit.com/r/scuba/comments/1r9fn7u/apparently_a...
