Today I had the pleasure of diving with go dive malta . I'd booked 2 dives for a morning on my short break with my wife .
Valentinas communication by email and text was spot on , Valentina And her husband Marco are ver friendly and welcoming, also very professional.
OK the dives , because of the wind / weather ,there was a change of site to try and give us the best experience . I dived on the lighter x127 wreck and the adjacent reef . My guides Andi and Davi were fab , fun ,helpful and good at what they do . The rental gear was in good condition and care was taken to ensure our small group had a safe enjoyable dive . Would I recommend them . 100% yes , would I go with them again ? of course ! Thanks to go dive staff and the 2 ladies I had as dive buddies . Enjoyed it very much .

If you dive in Malta, there is only one dive centre to go with and that's Go Dive Malta in Mellieha. Owned by Marco and Valentina, this dive centre is possibly the most professional centre I have had the pleasure of diving with. The whole team are passionate about diving plus the safety of their clients is their number one priority. I had the privilege of diving with dive leaders Miky, the gentle giant and Marco, who could be an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean. Both are expert and experienced divers with thousands of dives between them. What they don't know about diving 'aint worth knowing! I honestly had the best dive experience with Go Dive Malta in Mellieha.
They run as a family friendly business and it was always a pleasure to meet Val and Marco's young children, one of whom is aptly named Ocean.
The Go Dive Malta 'family' is completed with interns Christina and the recently joined Andrea. I wish them both well in their diving careers. They are lucky to be training with the best.
All in all, a great team, a great experience and great Friday night drink in Billy's Bar where all clients are welcomed to talk more about.....diving!
Many thanks to all at GDM. I hope to return in October.

Superb set up. Thoroughly safety conscious & v. friendly dive centre. Plenty of humour too, everyone was made to feel very comfortable, I went for a week of 10 dives but added a night dive and DPV dive. I went with a friend who’s visited many times. The dives were so well planned with very gradual ascents which left me with plenty of energy! We were with a group of similar level divers all about the same on air which made it very enjoyable. I’ve also picked up lots of handy hints from the brilliant Marco. Next year they are getting a rib - I can’t wait!!

We recently visited Malta. During our trip we had the privilege of finding Go Dive Malta for our dive excursions. This dive shop goes above and beyond to provide the best diving experience for you.
My husband is a free diver and through this shop, he had a time of his life going free diving with apnea freediving group. For me, they took me and a couple to a beautiful place in Malta to dive. We were only 3 divers and a dive instructor and 2 dive masters.
We absolutely loved this place.
They also helped me with my SSI diving app to start logging my dives correctly. Plus, they remembered and sent me a happy birthday wish, almost 1 month after coming back to home. I would go back and use them again. They are very professional and expert in what they do.
Thank you for making our vacation extra special.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to the Go Dive Malta family, and the reason I call them family is because that’s exactly how you feel walking into the place. The whole crew which makes that place successful, is a dedicated and professional group of individuals. Not only are they skilled and passionate about what they teach but they also practice all aspects of safety and implement all necessary checks to ensure their customers are safe but also enjoy their dive experience. Thank you Roberta and Maurizio for making my first three diving experiences the best ever. I am going to continue and plan my fourth in the Red Sea and follow all that you taught me. Thank you

Fantastic experience diving with Go Dive. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I booked accommodation and 10 dives, communication and organisation of the trip was brilliant from the start. Nothing felt like too much trouble for the team, it really felt personalised in the way they looked to ensure the dive sites met what I was looking for. Would definitely dive with them again if I return to Malta

My son and I did our open water driving course with Go Dive Malta, and what a fantastic experience it was! Marco and Valentina run a wonderful dive centre, very professional and super friendly. Sarah, our instructor was brilliant all through the course, with the patience of a saint, guiding us all the way and most importantly ensuring we were safe at all time. And all this was done with a great sense of humour from all of the Go Dive Malta team. If you want to dive in Malta, I can’t recommend Go Dive Malta enough, you will have a wonderful experience with them.

I had a great experience with Go Dive Malta. Marco and Valentina are lovely and with Ocean and Siberia they are the perfect diving family :)
It was a lot of fun diving and sailing with Arek, Miky, Marco and Edo and I discovered a lot of new dive sites and got to explore, evolve and learn new things like diving with DPVs which was great!
The dive center is very well managed and the school equipment impeccable.
The team is very friendly and professional, gives a lot of attention to detail and service.
I highly recommend diving with them should you be in the Mellieha area!

Highly recommend! I just had my very first diving experience with the Go Dive Malta team. It was absolutely amazing starting from the first contact !
The training was done with expertise and patience. All the details of the equipment were presented, we did the most important safety exercises and learn the most common hand signs to use in case of emergency😊
The diving in the open water was unforgettable !
I felt confident and safe during the entire duration of the dive. The old archeological vases are really beautiful and the view from the edge of the cliff is out or this world!
Thank you Andy, Gion and Val for this great experience! Real scuba masters!
As a recommendation:
When possible, I think it would be great for the future newcomers to include also a picture in the package, as for most of the cases it’s an unforgettable experience😊

Thank you very much Laszlo for your review.
We are happy that you enjoyed yourself and that it was a good experience.
as for the pictures we can take them out of the water, in the water this is not possible, unless there is a person in charge of doing this. as you are not a certified diver, and do not have enough knowledge about the diving world and how to behave in case of emergency, our instructors focus on your safety to ensure the best possible diving experience for you.

We booked a dive few days before our arrival. Valentina answered all our queries and cleared all our doubts. Everything was organized, professional and friendly. Michelle , valentina and marco they were all friendly and made us comfortable on our first dive experience . Michelle was our trainer couldn't ask for anyone better he made our first dive so easy and we really enjoyed it. Thankyou for an amazing experience!! We would love to go for a dive with you again.

We’re thinking about a diving trip to Malta for a week in October 2018. We’ve recently done our PADI Openwater qualification and are looking to do our PADI Advanced, then continue diving once further qualified. We are thinking of staying in Mellieħa and would like to see a bit of Malta. Would this be a good base with nearby accommodation and a variety of restaurants? Would appreciate all recommendations. Angie.

Hi Angie.
Mellieha would be the perfect place to stay, we have a beautiful beach and some amazing restaurants in the area. Go Dive Malta are also located in Mellieha and we can certainly get you diving all over the 3 islands. Have a look on our website and use the contact us form to get in touch. I can respond with further details on how to get booking and recommend nearby accommodation. Kind regards
Regards
