Course Overview

Three certifications. Four days. Malta's full depth range unlocked.

The Malta Triple Specialty is a diveshack-exclusive bundle combining three SSI specialty courses into a single four-day programme. Each specialty is a recognised SSI certification in its own right. Together, they remove every restriction you'll encounter on Malta's best dive sites.

Malta has more dive sites per square kilometre than almost anywhere in the Mediterranean, and many of its most rewarding locations sit below 20 metres or inside wreck structures. With only an Open Water certification, most of those sites are off-limits. This bundle fixes that, completely, inside your Malta holiday.

  • 3 SSI specialty certifications, each valid worldwide for life
  • Certified to access Malta's wrecks, with an Advanced Wreck upgrade option
  • 40m depth limit, unlocking the full depth of Um El Faroud and the Blue Hole wall
  • Nitrox certified for longer bottom times and faster surface interval recovery
  • Small groups, maximum 4 divers per instructor
  • All theory, equipment, fills, and certification fees included in bundle rate

The Three Specialties

What you earn. What each one unlocks.

Specialty 01

SSI Deep Diver

Extends your recreational depth limit from 18m or 20m to 40m. The single most impactful upgrade for diving Malta.

Cert depth: 40m
  • Buoyancy management and gas consumption at depth
  • Deep dive planning with dive tables and computer
  • Nitrogen narcosis awareness and response
  • 3 progressive deep dives, with the certification dive reaching 40m
  • Emergency procedures and rapid ascent protocol
Sites this unlocks in Malta Um El Faroud (36m), MV Karwela (42m), Blue Hole Gozo wall (40m+), P29 (34m full wreck)
Specialty 02

SSI Wreck Diver

Certified training to navigate Malta's wrecks. Two paths available: wreck survey or light-zone penetration. Choose based on your experience level and what you want to do underwater.

Malta Certified: wreck survey and exterior navigation
  • Wreck navigation techniques and structure reading
  • Line deployment and safe approach protocols
  • Torch use and silting avoidance near wreck structures
  • Emergency procedures in the wreck environment
  • Two supervised wreck dives (sites selected on the day)
Malta Full Access: light-zone penetration (SSI Advanced Wreck Diver)
  • All Malta Certified content, plus guided entry into wreck interiors
  • Reel and tether management inside the light zone
  • Gas awareness and turn procedures at the penetration limit
  • Daylight remains visible throughout: no full overhead penetration
  • Four wreck dives across the programme (sites selected on the day)
Full Access prereqs 12 logged dives and age 15+. No Advanced Wreck cert needed before starting.
Specialty 03

SSI Enriched Air Nitrox

EAN 32% or 36% certification. Longer no-decompression limits, shorter surface intervals, and more dives per day.

EAN 32% / EAN 36%
  • Nitrox theory: partial pressures and oxygen toxicity
  • Gas analysis: how to verify your mix before every dive
  • Extended no-deco limits at recreational depths
  • Faster surface interval recovery between dives
  • Two supervised nitrox dives to practise gas planning
Why it matters on this trip Doing multiple deep dives per day on air compresses your surface intervals. Nitrox gives you more time at depth and keeps you diving longer across the trip.
Why Malta

Malta has 20+ wreck sites. Most divers can access fewer than half of them.

The Maltese islands sit at a crossroads of Mediterranean maritime history. Two world wars, Phoenician traders, and decades of deliberate scuttling have left more dives per square kilometre here than almost anywhere else. The problem is access.

An Open Water diver is certified to 18 or 20 metres. Most of Malta's wrecks and deep reef walls begin below that. Without the Deep Diver specialty, you're excluded from the Um El Faroud's main deck, the full depth of MV Karwela in Gozo, and the deeper sections of the Blue Hole wall. Without the Wreck Diver specialty, you are not trained to navigate wreck structures, manage silt, or read a site safely at close range. Without Nitrox, multiple deep dives in a day mean long surface waits between them.

The Malta Triple Specialty removes all three restrictions inside a single four-day programme. By Day 4, you're combining all three certifications on a single dive at depth on nitrox. Nothing in Malta is off the table.

Day by Day

How the four days run.

Day
1

Wreck Diver Specialty

Morning theory covering wreck navigation, line deployment, torch protocols, silt management, and emergency procedures inside confined spaces. Two wreck dives in the afternoon at a site selected on the day, practising navigation technique, line work, and torch use under instructor supervision.

Theory Wreck Dive 1 Wreck Dive 2
Day
2

Deep Diver Specialty

Morning theory on nitrogen narcosis, gas consumption at depth, deep dive planning, and emergency procedures. Two progressive deep dives in the afternoon: the first establishes comfort and buoyancy control at depth, the second goes deeper. Site selected on the day based on conditions. If you are taking the EAN component, the last deep dives will be conducted on nitrox.

Theory Deep Dive 1 Deep Dive 2
Day
3

Deep Dive 3 to 40m

The third progressive deep dive reaches 40 metres, conducted on nitrox, applying the gas planning skills from the EAN component. Malta Full Access divers complete two further wreck dives in the afternoon, finishing the Advanced Wreck Diver requirements. SSI Deep Diver certification is issued on completion of this day.

Deep on Nitrox Wreck Dive 3 Wreck Dive 4 SSI Deep Diver Cert SSI Wreck Diver Cert
Day
4

Integration Dive

The showcase dive. On Day 4, all three certifications work together on a single dive: a wreck site on nitrox at depth. Site selected on the day. Full Access divers enter the light zone; Malta Certified divers complete a full wreck survey at depth. Either way, a dive that would have been impossible before the programme started.

Requirements

Who this course is for.

Certification

Open Water Minimum

You need a minimum SSI Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent from PADI, BSAC, CMAS, or another recognised agency). Advanced Open Water is preferred and means Day 1 runs more smoothly. If you hold only Open Water, speak to us when booking so we can confirm suitability.

Experience

20 Logged Dives Recommended

There is no mandatory logged dive count, but we strongly recommend at least 20 logged dives before this bundle. The course covers challenging depth and environment work. Divers who are comfortable in the water, confident with their buoyancy, and used to diving from shore will get the most out of the four days.

Equipment

All Provided. Own Kit Welcome.

Full equipment is included in the bundle rate: BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins, weights, tanks, and nitrox fills. If you travel with your own BCD or regulators, bring them. Divers who dive their own kit often find specialty training more effective as they are working with familiar equipment.

Pricing

Malta Triple Specialty options

Two paths through the same four days. Deep Diver and Nitrox are identical on both. The wreck component determines which bundle suits you.
