Scuba Diving in Malta

Alpha School of English

Scuba Diving  in Malta The Scuba Diving Course provides students with the opportunity to acquire their Scuba Diving PADI Certificate. The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) is the world's largest training agency, and its certificates are recognized worldwide. We work with one of Malta's leading diving schools, which is conveniently located 2 minutes away from the school. The certificate course commences in the classroom where students learn about diving equipment, planning for safe diving, vision and communication underwater, helping their buddy, etc. These informal lessons are aided by audio-visual presentations.

Students then practice their skills with a shallow dive. Fortunately, our sheltered bays allow our students to enjoy their initial diving experience in the sea itself. Students then graduate to open sea dives which take place all around Malta and her sister islands. The minimum age for this course is 14 but all divers under the age of 18 must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian. All divers are required to have a medical certificate of Fitness to Dive, issued and signed by a doctor. We can make all the necessary arrangements for students' fitness examinations. The course consists of 5 confined water training sessions, 4 open water dives and 5 theory lessons. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with diving equipment and able to dive in undemanding conditions. On successful completion of the course students will be issued with the internationally recognized PADI Open Water Certificate. The PADI Advanced Open Water Course is also available.
