Gozo also houses two of the most popular tourist resorts in Malta, Marsalforn and Xlendi Bay. It is an excellent place for diving. The island waters are safe enough to let divers dive all-year-round.
It’s for everyone
Gozo has dive spots suitable for all levels of experience, from beginners to practiced divers looking for a new challenge.
Among the world’s best
Gozo Diving is famous for the underwater visibility, warm temperatures and stunning underwater scenery. Submerged caves, chimneys, arches and tunnels together with breathtaking drop offs and the flourishing marine life make Gozo a top diving destination. In fact, Gozo and Malta were recently voted the 2 nd best diving destination in the world by Diver magazine readers, making it the top place to dive in Europe.
A different world down there
Beneath the surface of the sea, lies a magical and colourful world waiting to be discovered. If you’ve already been diving in the Gozitan waters, you can understand clearly what we’re talking about. If you’ve never ventured into the spellbinding underwater world, this page will give you a faint glimpse of what we are talking about.
Wrecks
Decommissioned ships have been scuttled off Gozo’s South coast, near Comino’s Blue Lagoon and near Malta’s north coast. One wreck in particular was scuttled in shallow water purposely to be enjoyed by less experienced divers.
Possible all year round
The sea is usually calm but the small of the island means that you spend little time travelling between sites and if there is wind on one side of the island you are only minutes from an alternative dive-site. The sea temperature never drops below 14ºC so diving is possible almost all year round.
Diving Centres
Gozo offers a wide range of dive centres with experienced, professional and qualified diving staff trained to teach all levels, from beginners to professional level according to Scuba Schools International (SSI), the Confederation Mondiale des Activites Subaquatiques (CMAS) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) standards.Dive centres are located across the Islands, so you will always find one near your accommodation. There is no need to bring your own equipment as centres provide all you need.
