I couldn’t recommend them enough, Mireia and her team were great!! 🤿 Héctor SAIZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. LA VERDAD QUE UNA MARAVILLA - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. - Somos una pareja que hicimos 12 inmersiones en el club, te escribo con conocimiento de causa, nuestra reseña tiene gran valor: - La instalación es muy buena, enorme, céntrica, limpia, ordenada, con una barbaridad de personal a tu servicio, y siempre te invitan a café y te a discreción. - El personal joven, fantástico, amable y muy formado. No puedo evitar decirte que como español 🇪🇸🇪🇸, mi alegría fue inmensa al ver muchísimo personal y divemaster españoles, eso facilita todo. - Mención expresa para reseñar que las incidencias que existen en toda actividad de submarinismo fueron resueltas realmente bien por el personal. - Prácticamente tienes tratamiento de buceo privado, en varias inmersiones incluso fuimos con tres divemaster, lo cual es inusual o directamente imposible en otros club. - MENCIÓN EXPRESA a un instructor llamado Willy, un máquina el tipo, si yo fuera tú, lo pedía. Me ofrecieron la oportunidad de aumentar mi nivel y hacer exámenes teóricos y prácticos, y Willy fue mi examinador. Pues 10/10 como profesional, como examinador, y el tipo no te quita ojo evidentemente, pero da mucha libertad para disfrutar de cada inmersión. Es bueno y da seguridad. En serio, si eres exigente o vas a examinarte, yo te recomendaría que preguntaras por él. - OJO que fuimos en marzo y hace frío, te recomiendo llevar tu propia mascara, ordenador, y neoprenos más interiores como un chaleco, capucha, calcetines y guantes (aunque normalmente no los uses). - El dueño es español, Enol, (asturiano 🎉) para nosotros también es importante, hay una comunidad de españoles muy buena en Malta. - Hay una mujer que organiza todo, parece la patrona del club, Lina, es maravillosa y te resuelve todo. Tuvimos que hacer varios cambios y te atiende 24/7 de forma maravillosa. Estoy también es importante. - En resumen, le doy las cinco estrellas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. - Contratamos medio de SCUBAFINDERS (espectacular, escribo en reseña correspondiente).

Alina IvlevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent diving. Great customer service. Reliable equipment. Great location with easy access by public transport. We had 2 dives at um el Faroud wreck. Visibility was great, excellent guide with safe swim across the inside of the wreck. Highly recommend this place for your dives. Alistair EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a short trip to Malta for diving, and Scuba Malta was absolutely the right choice of dive centre to choose. Enol runs a well organised dive shop, his communication is great and was a very good guide on our shore and wreck dives. Iris, Bruno and Stephanie were trainee dive masters who dived with us over the three days and they were very good divers in the water and very helpful at the dive sites too. I'd thoroughly recommend diving with this shop, it will be worth every euro. Fiona KinghornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ha sido una inmersión increíble, espectacular con Enol un súper instructor amable y paciente. Estar acompañada de Steffanía & Iris me ha resultado súper fácil y segura durante toda mi Dive. Ya quiero repetir! Christian WirthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bei sonnigem Wetter im März nur zu zweit die Anfängertour gemacht bis zum Wrack. Super Erlebnis! Enol und Stefanie haben sich perfekt gekümmert als ich anfangs Probleme hatte. Toller Spot, super Service. Unbedingt machen wenn man in St Giuljans ist. A GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing first time diving experience. The instructors were very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend!

You NEED prior certification in Wrecks (Wreck Diver) or a recognized equivalent, plus serious experience and killer buoyancy control.
This course packs in 4 mind-blowing supervised dives over 2 days, laser-focused on penetration techniques and overhead environment mastery.
We’re talking more complex penetrations than the basic level, always within the light zone, and always following hardcore overhead diving safety protocols.
Hell no! SSI Advanced Wreck Diver is still an advanced recreational specialty. No need for technical configurations or decompression profiles here.
Nope. We use standard recreational gear. We’ll break out the specialized penetration tools – guide line, reel – during training.
Wreck Diver gets you started with wreck diving and basic recreational penetrations. Advanced Wreck Diver is where you dive deep into structured planning, advanced guide line skills, and staying in control in more challenging overhead environments.
We roll in small, tight groups – max 4 divers. This guarantees your safety, close supervision, and gets you the most out of every single dive.
