Expedition
Explore an underwater landscape
Gain your PADI Open Water certificate. You can then explore the striking underwater scenery alongside highly skilled diving instructors. Those who already hold the Open Water certificate can choose to do a more advanced course.
Be part of a conservation effort
Teams will work alongside a local NGO, whose objectives are to raise awareness about sharks, skates and rays and contribute to conservation on all levels. Activities such as egg case surveys, data collection and beach cleaning take place both above and below the water and offer a unique opportunity to contribute to research and conservation efforts.
Get off the beaten track
Head out on foot to discover Malta’s rolling hills and spectacular cliffs. Numerous trails follow view-filled pathways linking isolated coves and surprising historical structures. Temples and towers from many different eras can be found throughout the island offering a remarkable insight into the country’s heritage.
Learn Something New
Malta’s capital city of Valetta was built by the Knight of St John on a peninsular that’s only 1km by 600m. Although small Valetta is packed with historic sights. Exploring the many museums, churches and fortresses will take you on a journey through Malta’s astounding 7,000 year history.
What to expect
Terrain
Malta’s landscape contrasts rocky coasts and towering cliffs with hidden coves and sheltered bays offering crystal clear water. Below the sea, divers can explore a world of caves, crags and wrecks, whilst on land there is a remarkable array of historical sites to discover.
Weather
Malta has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. October is a great time to visit, with plenty of sunshine and sea temperatures that are still comfortable for swimming.
Culture
Malta is predominantly Roman Catholic, but its culture reflects the various influences, both European and Middle Eastern that have come into contact with the islands over the centuries. There is no shortage of modern sophistication, but venture into the remote villages and it’s easy to feel you have gone back in time.
