Three guided dives in a single full day. Three sites, three briefings, one expert guide throughout. The most dives you can comfortably fit into one day in Malta.
Three dives across one day is the fastest way to cover Malta's range as an Open Water diver. Morning and afternoon dives are planned at Open Water-appropriate depths. The third dive, often late afternoon, is typically a shallower profile with high marine life density: brown chromis, ornate wrasse, painted comber, and octopus are common at this time of day.
Tanks and weights throughout, three briefings, all sites chosen by your guide based on conditions and your cert level.
The P29 patrol boat, MV Karwela off Ghajnsielem, and the Um El Faroud outer hull at 35m are all out of reach on an Open Water card. The SSI Advanced Open Water course at diveshack takes 2 days and is completable within your dive week. The sites you unlock afterwards are in a different category.
Malta's waters support one of the Mediterranean's richest marine ecosystems. Every dive is different. These are some of the species our guides encounter regularly — shown in a new random order each visit.

Malta is diveable year-round. The Mediterranean's enclosed geography means no significant swell for most of the year, and water clarity is consistently excellent. Summer months bring glass-flat conditions and 24–27°C water. Winter diving is popular with experienced divers who appreciate empty sites and 20–25m visibility.
Generally light. Some northern sites see mild current at the arch. Always manageable with guide planning.
May through October. Peak summer gives the warmest water and flattest conditions. Book ahead in July and August.
Among the best in the Mediterranean. Average 22–32m depending on season. Harbour sites slightly less than open coast.
