Diving in Malta & Gozo in general

About the area as a whole, not this offer. Ask Gozo Dive - St Andrew's what applies to your trip.

Currents

Generally mild and easy, especially at Malta's shore sites; some Gozo sites (e.g. Blue Hole/Chimney) and wreck dives see stronger current and swell depending on conditions

Marine life

WWII and deliberately-sunk wrecks, swim-throughs and caves, grouper and moray eels, octopus and nudibranchs, seasonal visibility exceeding 30m

Malta diving runs year-round but is most comfortable and calmest May-Oct; winter diving is colder and choppier.
