    "Fantastic course! Three friends and I decided to add some variety to our Malta holiday and booked this introductory scuba diving course. All the instructors speak German and answered all our questions in detail. We started with a short introduction to diving and the technical aspects, and then we were able to dive for about half an hour in the harbor basin right in front of the dive center. We really enjoyed it!"Johannes · September 2026
