Diving in Malta |
|
|
With over 80 dive sites throughout Malta and Gozo its relatively easy to see why
Malta is one of the most popular diving and snorkelling destinations in the
mediterranean. As many as 500,000 dives take place here each year as malta, gozo
and comino are well known as having some of the best diving locations in the
mediterranean sea.
Most dives in Malta can be done from the shore and underwater visibility around
the islands is generally very good at up to 20+ metres in most areas. Off shore
reef structures and amazing cave diving provide oppurtunity for some spectacular
diving.
Some of the best dive sites on the islands can be found on the island of Gozo with Ulysses
Cave, Coral Cave, the Blue Hole and San Dimitri point being just a few.
Common species of fish and other colourful marine life
seen here are Grouper, Bream, Barracuda, Sea Urchins, Seahorses, Cuttlefish,
Gobies, Parrotfish, Damselfish, Fireworms, Cardinal fish and Scorpion fish. There are many
certified dive centres can be found throughout Malta and Gozo . For a complete
list of certified dive centres please visit the PDSA website.
These islands are host to a variety of wreck dives including many from World War
II. Wreck dives here include the HMS Maori, HMS Jersey, Beaufighter N, Bristol
Blenheim, Hellespont and the MV Odile. With so many dive sites around the
maltese islands its can be hard to choose, however you can be sure to enjoy
yourself on whatever dive you choose. See our dive map below for dive site
locations and details. |
