Mission Statement
A European expedition for divers to experience the true art of adventure diving. Divers stay in traditional Gozitian Farmhouses and shore dive the monumental walls, meandering caverns and mystical wrecks in the azure blue waters of Malta, Gozo and Comino. Divers also embrace the wonderful Maltese culture and heritage in the heart of the village festivals season and learn about overfishing and bluefin tuna industry first hand.
Malta’s culture is a vibrant fusion of Mediterranean warmth, rich history, and spirited tradition. The islands come alive with festas — colorful village festivals featuring fireworks, marching bands, and religious processions that reflect deep community pride. From the grandeur of Holy Week to the exuberance of Carnival, each celebration is steeped in heritage and heart. Maltese people are famously welcoming, with a strong sense of hospitality and identity shaped by centuries of Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and European influences. It’s a place where past and present intertwine effortlessly, and where visitors are treated like old friends.
Diving in Gozo is varied with reef walls, swim throughs and wreck dives. There is something to suit all levels with extensive fish and variety of macro life on sheltered sites and drift diving further offshore. The quality of the reefs in Malta are good thanks to the Mediterranean current that flows past the coastline providing nutrients that have enabled a marine ecosystem to become established. There are also a number of wrecks including the Karwela and Cominoland Ships. Visibility is excellent, but drops significantly after rainfall, but even in lower visibility the conditions are good. Dive sites are generally shore dives or a short boat journey away with the exception of those at Comino, a rocky pinnacle in the open water with sheer walls and lots of life.
