Anyone been to Malta?

What is the viz, types of sealife, bottom makeup and anything else a interested diver would like to know?

See here.

Hope it helps!

Some of the early posts about medical regs in malta for diving can be misleading. Yea they are more stringent than many locations in the world but in itself this is not a bad thing. They have relaxed many of their regulations in diving that were seen as being fairly old fashioned such as using anything other than air, my understanding forexample i that nitrox is now allowed.

I havent dived malta itself but did have the pleasure of diving on the next door island of gozo. This was my first non uk diving holiday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In comparison to cyprus for example, i feel that the safety standards in malta are much better and there is far more by way of marine life.

Thanks for the info. I'm pricing out and comparing trips for the next two years and this will help.

Come diving on the sister island Gozo which is far better and a shorter distance to dive..
