Package Overview

Two sites. One day.

Two sites in one day as an Open Water diver. The guide typically pairs a shallower reef entry with a second site that makes use of remaining no-deco time. Expect ornate wrasse, seabream, brown chromis, and octopus across both dives. Malta's visibility regularly runs to 20m-plus at Open Water depths.

Tanks and weights for both dives, two separate briefings, surface interval on land with your guide.

  • Tanks and weights included both dives. Full kit hire available (+€10/dive)
  • Two separate site briefings
  • Sites selected for Open Water certification (max 18m each)
  • Surface interval on land with guide
  • Marine life across both profiles: ornate wrasse, painted comber, octopus, two-banded seabream
  • Any certified diver, any agency

Two dives. A genuine contrast.

Two dives lets the guide plan a genuine contrast: a deep wreck profile in the morning, a wall or reef dive after the surface interval. AOW certification means the full P29 superstructure, the Karwela at depth, or a wall dive at Wied iz-Zurrieq. Two different environments, two different depth profiles in one day.

Both dives fully guided. Kit fitted once, used for both. Two briefings, one productive day.

You're diving to 18m. Advanced Open Water takes you to 30m and opens Malta's best wrecks.

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.

SSI Advanced Open Water Deep Diver Specialty Enriched Air Nitrox

Four days. Three specialties. Full access to Malta's overhead environments.

The diveshack Triple Specialty bundle combines Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, and Nitrox in four days. Nitrox extends bottom time on the wrecks you're already diving. Wreck Diver certification opens full penetration on Um El Faroud, the P29 deep sections, and the ORP Kujawiak. Deep Diver pushes your depth limit and unlocks the Blue Hole wall in full.

What to Expect

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.

Current

Generally light. Some northern sites see mild current at the arch. Always manageable with guide planning.

Best time

May through October. Peak summer gives the warmest water and flattest conditions. Book ahead in July and August.

Visibility

Among the best in the Mediterranean. Average 22–32m depending on season. Harbour sites slightly less than open coast.
