Trial Scuba Diving for Beginners in Sliema"We had a fantastic experience! David and Marcus took great care of the group considering it was some people’s first dive and the instructions given were clear and concise. My partner nearly took out the group with his paddling and Marcus took him to the surface to calm him down and did a great job of encouraging him to dive back down again. Really appreciated the added free videos we received at the end also! "Yasmin, August 28, 2025From 80€ / day (3hrs)
