The Maltese islands provide exceptional diving opportunities and are widely recognized as one of the premier diving destinations in Europe. Therefore, you will be able to observe a dozen of colourful and shining fish. For this activity, we will most likely stay on the beach in front of our base, depending on the weather. But if the conditions aren't suitable, we will take a boat to a quiet cove and do our diving there.Programme
We will meet you directly at our office in Sliema. If you come by car, there are free car parks nearby. We offer free pick-up in Sliema and St. Julian's, as well as paid pick-up in the region as far as Valletta. In both cases, this must be arranged after booking.
Once at the diving centre, you will collect your equipment and change clothes. Depending on the weather conditions, we will most likely stay on the beach in front of our base. If the conditions do not allow us to stay there, we will take the boat to a quiet cove and dive there.
