ℹ️ Short answer: Malta is one of the best Mediterranean dive destinations — clear water (visibility 20–40m), warm summer sea, no currents most days, and a stack of WWII-and-later wrecks at recreational depths. Beginners should book a PADI Discover Scuba half-day at Ċirkewwa (~€80–110). Certified divers want the Um El Faroud, P29 patrol boat, HMS Maori, and the Blue Hole at Dwejra (Gozo). The best season is June–October; spring water is clearer but cold. Twin-tank boat dives run €80–120; full Open Water certifications are €450–550. Malta has a quietly strong reputation in European diving. Visibility is reliably 20–40 metres in summer, the sea between Malta, Gozo and Comino is sheltered enough that conditions are diveable 300+ days a year, and the rate of wrecks-per-square-kilometre is one of the highest in the Mediterranean — Malta has been at the receiving end of every major Mediterranean naval war for the last 2,500 years, and a few of the casualties got scuttled deliberately as artificial reefs.
