Diving in Malta

Explore diving in Malta

Malta offers exceptional diving with caves, reefs, and wrecks accessible by shore or boat, suitable for beginners to technical divers. The iconic Blue Hole starts at 12m, leading through a crevice into crystal-clear waters filled with octopus, lobster, and vibrant parrotfish. Advanced divers can explore deeper caves with striking light effects. Swim-throughs and arches lead to a Madonna statue, often surrounded by scorpionfish and the occasional triggerfish. With its dramatic topography, it’s also a top night diving spot. Malta is an ideal place to get certified in wreck diving.
