Learn to scuba dive and gain your full PADI Open Water Diver certification in Il-Mellieħa. As one of the most common introductory scuba diving courses, recognised by dive centres around the world, this is the best way for beginners to get the most out of their diving holiday in Malta. Develop your scuba diving skills in one of Europe's top scuba diving destinations and take in the natural beauty of the underwater landscape while you're at it.
Goal of the courseThe PADI Open Water Diver certification combines
theory lessons,
skill-development sessions, and
open water dives in the deep blue sea. Holding this certification means that you are able to dive to a depth of
18 metres and are qualified to dive alongside any buddy with an equal-level or higher certification, without the need of an instructor. You will also be equipped with the skills needed to master a broad range of situations underwater and know how to stay safe.

30 minutes before your course is set to begin so we can provide you with all the necessary information before your first theory lesson.
