Malta recommendations

[Telvar]

Hi, I've been diving on Malta this summer and last year. They have loads of cool wrecks that don't require wreckdiving specialty and are often at reasonable depths. Fun thing about Malta is that where you stay is not relevant to where you'll dive: everywhere on the island (and Gozo and Comino) are easily reached within 30-45 minutes. I stayed in St Pauls Bay and we went everywhere. Given the depths, you may want to use nitrox although it's not stricktly necessary. Both years I used Maltaqua. Last year was fantastic, this year ok(-ish).

The best wreck to visit is the Um El Faroud (hands down): It's huge, very accessible from shore and the bottom is about 37 meters, but most of the dive is around 25m. P29, Rozi and P31(Comino) are nice as well, so are The Blue hole (Gozo) and the inland sea (Gozo). Most of these dives are 20-30m. These are all very popular and often-visited sites.

Have fun!

Am wanting to get back into diving after a 2 year absence....( Nothing to do with Scuba ) And Gozo is looking interesting. Am in UK and got own gear and Padi Open Water with circa 30 dives. Really looking at a nice holiday with daily dives - nothing Extreme . Any recommendations on dive companies or hotels welcome

I'm in Libya not Malta

April is very bad and May is bad in Libya. I skip diving locally February - April altogether. I don't know about Malta during this time. @Miyaru is in Malta so he knows better.

Libya warmer than UK

Libya warmer than UK

Most definitely. My wife is from the UK, so I get to hear all about the weather in the UK. Winter here is probably like summer in the UK. I only stop diving because of the winds causing high seas not because of air or water temps here in western Libya.
