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.
