The best season is <strong>June–October</strong>; spring water is clearer but cold. Twin-tank boat dives run <strong>€80–120</strong>; full Open Water certifications are <strong>€450–550</strong>.</div> </div> </div> <p>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 <strong>rate of wrecks-per-square-kilometre</strong> 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.</p>
