Diveshack
Malta
About
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Sliema, this established dive center has been a cornerstone of the Maltese diving scene since 1992. As a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre and Tec Rec facility, it promises a first-class experience for divers of all aspirations. Its prime seafront location in a cosmopolitan hub means that after a day of exhilarating exploration beneath the waves, divers are perfectly positioned to enjoy the numerous shops, restaurants, and hotels that characterize this lively area.
The immediate surroundings offer unparalleled diving opportunities. A mere stone's throw from the center's doorstep lies a captivating 'house reef,' providing effortless access to underwater exploration. For those with a penchant for history and wrecks, a short drive of less than 10 minutes unveils a World War II shipwreck, a poignant reminder of the island's past, now an artificial reef teeming with marine life. Furthermore, this center holds the distinction of being the closest dive operation to the historic capital city of Valletta, offering a unique perspective on Malta's rich heritage both above and below the water.
Convenience is a key feature here. With the Sliema-Valletta ferry terminal just a 500-meter stroll away, partners or family members who prefer to stay topside can easily explore the island or enjoy the amenities of Valletta. This makes it an ideal choice for divers traveling with non-diving companions. The Maltese archipelago generally boasts exceptional visibility, often allowing divers to see for tens of meters, and the water temperatures are inviting throughout much of the year. Divers can expect to encounter a diverse array of marine species, including various reef fish, moray eels, octopus, and occasionally larger visitors. The combination of accessible wrecks, vibrant reefs, and the convenience of a well-connected location makes this center a compelling destination for any diver seeking an enriching and enjoyable Maltese diving adventure.
