School Scuba Diving Trip to Malta

Spectacular Malta is considered the jewel of the Mediterranean and is a fantastic choice of destination for your watersports or scuba diving trip!

Malta is an archipelago that lies between Italy and Libya, in a strategically important position in the Mediterranean. It has been invaded and occupied by many different powers throughout history.

Its location is what makes it so incredible for watersports, in particular, scuba diving. You'll be able to explore the many caves, reefs and shipwrecks in Malta's crystal clear waters, making for an unforgettable experience.

You’ll take a 3-day Ocean Diver Course with the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) off the beautiful Maltese cost, which will include theory lessons (and a short exam), as well as sessions in a pool or sheltered water and open-water dives. You’ll scuba dive out from shore each day with all equipment and training provided. You’ll learn how to use basic scuba diving gear, control your buoyancy and underwater movements, understand basic scuba diving safety skills and learn how to plan and manage your diving.

And there’ll even be time left to fit in some of the highlights of Malta’s incredible history too.

Launching your tour to parents and students

The next step is to get your tour approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. Here you’ll find loads of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the planning process.

After you’ve booked

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start working on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your tour (making the whole process a lot less stressful for you).

Support while you’re away

While you’re out on tour, we’ll be at the end of the phone 24 hours a day to provide support should you need it. We’ll also send you a final info pack before you go and you’ll be able to access all your tour documents via the free Vamoos app.

When you return from your sports tour, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, which helps us continue to improve the service we offer. And we can start planning your next tour too, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and so it’s less stressful for you).
