DIVE INTO THE BEST OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
Malta & Gozo are home to some world class diving, so whether you’re a beginner or a more seasoned diver, you will find it hard not to fall in love with the extraordinary underwater world that surrounds these beautiful islands.
Pull on your mask and get ready to experience amazingly vivid blues, exceptionally clear visibility and incredible aquatic scenery. With plenty of marine life to discover hiding out in archways, caves and the many wrecks scattered around the island you won’t find better diving anywhere else in the Med.
With typically calm waters and temperatures that rarely drop below 13ºC, the conditions offer all year round diving. If there’s wind making the sea choppy on one side of the island then it’s just a short distant to some amazing sites on the other. Due to the island being relatively small, you won’t have to travel far to reach the coast. Most dive sites are accessible from the shore and many more are just a short boat trip away.
We can barely contain our excitement at showing you this magical underwater playground. With that said, you should definitely try out scuba diving in Gozo and Malta.
