PADI Discover Scuba Diving in Marsalforn in Gozo
48Customer recommendations
Lucian
"I had an amazing diving experience in Marsalforn on the island of Gozo, Malta. My girlfriend and I went with a diving instructor who was incredibly professional, calm, and supportive throughout the entire dive. From the moment we arrived at the diving spot, she briefed us thoroughly, making us feel well-prepared. I had some insecurities with breathing at first and needed to surface twice to calm down, but she was completely understanding and reassuring. Her patience and guidance helped me relax and fully enjoy the dive. Once I felt more comfortable, the experience was unforgettable! We saw multiple sea urchins, a school of fish, and even a moray eel. The underwater world in Marsalforn was absolutely stunning, and the instructor’s help made it even better. I highly recommend this dive to anyone visiting Gozo, especially if you're a bit nervous or new to diving. You’ll be in great hands!"
