Diving in Malta
The dive school we co-operate with is a PADI
resort and a member of the Malta Professional
Diving Schools Association. Being a small well-established
diving centre on the waters-edge, you are guaranteed
a friendly and personal service at the best possible
rates. The school is operated by Albert Caruana
(Advanced BSAC No. 566) who has over 16 years
of diving experience and more than 5000 logged
dives.
The three beautiful islands that make up the
Maltese Archipelago form a very special diving
site at the heart of the blue Mediterranean. Known
throughout the international diving community
as "The Jewel of the Med", the Maltese
Islands have been one of the top diving destinations
in the Mediterranean for a number of years.
Diving is an all year round sport, since ideal
weather conditions can be practically guaranteed.
It is sheer delight to plunge into the crystal
clear, unpolluted, non-tidal waters of the enchanting
Mediterranean where visibility averages 30 meters.
Enjoy the underwater world of caves, drop offs,
reefs, wrecks and fascinating marine life.
