Everything was very well organized and the team was reliable. The equipment was in very good condition, which made us feel safe. Our diving instructor was incredibly nice, attentive and always helpful - you could tell that the well-being of the participants was really important to her. It was particularly nice to dive directly in the sea and get an authentic first impression of diving. I can recommend the course to anyone who wants to try diving!"Ute, October 30, 2024From 60€ / day (3hrs)Guided Boat & Shore Dives from Saint Paul's Bay in Malta"Had a great time. I messed up the booking initially and they sorted it all out for me and got me a great diving session suited for my and my mate. The instructors English was perfect, his instructions were very clear and he was very patient. The dive itself was really good, the reefs are quite amazing to see."Alisdair, September 19, 2019From 475€ / day (6hrs)SSI Open Water Scuba Diving Course for Beginners"The diving course made our vacation an unforgettable experience! The whole team is super nice and looked after us wonderfully. The course was perfectly organized, both theory and practice were taught to us with the highest level of expertise and sympathy. The safety of everyone involved was always the top priority, we always had complete trust in the guides. They looked at the strengths and weaknesses of each individual in the course and addressed each one individually accordingly. They took away our fears and made us feel comfortable in the wonderful underwater world. Being able to do the diving course on vacation in our native language made it even easier for us to understand and implement the content without language barriers. The best diving spots were selected on a daily basis, the course time was optimally designed to accommodate all the content, not too long and not too short. We felt very well looked after and would make the decision to do our Open Water Diver at Octopus Garden again at any time. We can only recommend the diving center to everyone. You made a big dream come true for us - thank you again, dear ones!! We have had a little reminder of it under our skin ever since :)"Elena, October 7, 2024From 499€ / day (5hrs)

"If you want to learn proper diving even as beginner (as I did it in Discover Scuba Diving Course in October 2024), you should choose Atlantis! The instructor was very thorough with theory and took all the time needed in the water for my insecurities.
I did a Discover Scuba Diving Course prior to this one, and I wasn’t explained how to manage my breathing at all, not even a mention of it. At Atlantis is this a must know! I was taught how to breathe to achieve the depth or go shallower, which therefore changed my diving experience completely and for that I am thankful! "
