Your first time underwater. Try Scuba puts you in confined water at 5m with an instructor at your shoulder. Basic Diver takes you to 12m in open water over two days. No experience required for either. Both credits apply to Open Water Diver if you continue.
The world standard entry certification. Four course days, four open water dives, lifetime SSI cert. Dive independently to 18m anywhere in the world with a certified buddy. All equipment included.
Extend to 30m. Deep diving, navigation, and your choice of specialty disciplines. Unlocks Malta's major wreck dives and is the prerequisite for Deep Diver specialty training.
Push the recreational limit. Deep Diver to 40m, Wreck Diver for penetration, Night and Limited Visibility, Navigation, Underwater Photography, Enriched Air Nitrox, Perfect Buoyancy, Sidemount, and more.
Malta's waters hold over 400 recorded species. What you encounter depends on how deep you go. Here are nine you can expect to meet.
Octopus vulgaris
Masters of camouflage, found in rocky crevices and rubble. Watch for the telltale pile of empty shells outside their den.
Muraena helena
Dark brown with golden marbling, usually peering out from a hole in the reef. Mouth gaping is breathing, not aggression.
Thalassoma pavo
Electric blue and green with vivid vertical bars. One of the first fish you will notice on any shallow Maltese dive.
Epinephelus marginatus
The heavyweight of the Mediterranean reef. Territorial and curious, often hovering near overhangs and cave entrances.
Myliobatis aquila
Spotted wings spanning over a metre. Glides over sandy patches between reefs, usually spotted mid-water during summer months.
Sepia officinalis
Colour-shifting skin that ripples with chromatophore waves. Hovers above seagrass beds, often in pairs during the breeding season.
Seriola dumerili
Silver torpedoes that circle wreck superstructures in schools. Fast, powerful, and often the first sign that you are approaching a wreck.
Conger conger
Up to two metres long, wedged into wreck compartments and deep cavities. Nocturnal hunters that shelter in the dark during the day.
Zeus faber
Paper-thin profile with a distinctive dark eyespot on each flank. A slow, methodical stalker found near deep walls and wreck debris.
Five depth steps from 45m to 100m. Each level is a standalone SSI certification and the foundation for the next. All taught in-house by our Diamond ITC team.
Doubles, wing systems, and basic decompression. The mandatory entry point to all XR diving. Pool and confined water only.
Helium enters the breathing mix. Normoxic trimix, extended deco planning, and 60m access.
Hypoxic bottom mix, multi-stage decompression, and advanced gas planning. 80m access.
Full technical depth. Advanced deco algorithms, complex gas management, and 100m operating depth.
The 80m and 100m programmes delivered together in one training block. Two certifications, one programme.
