Six guided dives to spread across your stay. Wrecks, reefs, walls. You pick the mix with your guide. Kit hire available at +€10 per dive.
Six dives across multiple days is where Open Water divers go from tentative to competent. By dive four or five, buoyancy is settled, air consumption is down, and you are covering more ground. The guide tracks your progression and adjusts site selection accordingly. Malta has enough variety at Open Water depths to keep six dives genuinely varied across the week.
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.
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.
