Diving

The Diving Course provides students with the opportunity to acquire internationally recognised PADI Open Water and Advanced Certificates. The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) is the world's largest training agency, and its certificates are recognised worldwide.We work with one of Malta’s leading dive schools, which is conveniently located just 2 minutes away from the school on foot.

The PADI Open Water certificate Course commences in the classroom where students learn about diving equipment, planning for safe diving, vision and communication underwater, helping their buddy, etc. Students then practise their skills with a shallow dive. Fortunately, Malta’s 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. Back in the classroom, 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.

The PADI Open Water Diving 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 their Diving Course students will be issued with a PADI Certification Card. The PADI Advanced Open Water Course is also available.

Diving Course Specifications

The minimum age for Diving Courses 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.

We work with one of the first diving schools founded in Malta. In the 30 years of the school’s history it has been one of Europe's leading dive bases. It has serviced tens of thousands of clients and trained thousands of divers and hundreds of highly skilled instructors.Established in 1970 by Mike and Agnes Upton, both CMAS National Instructors, PADI Staff Instructors and BSAC Advanced Instructors who have both logged thousands of dives since they started diving in 1968. Both are teachers by profession so diver training has always been of particular interest to them. "We have always strived to improve the range and quality of service we offer to our clients but always maintaining a policy of Safety First. Over the years our standards of safety and service have brought us world wide recognition and acclaim."
