ABC Diving

Set on the water's edge in the northern part of St Paul's Bay, Malta — an area also known as Turtle Bay — ABC Diving is a PADI 5 Star IDC centre with five PADI instructors and a warm, personal feel. Its waterfront location means easy access to a boat slip, dive gear by the water, a house reef, and a pool to unwind in after a dive.

Courses and diving

Whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or building toward technical diving, there's a path here: PADI Discover Scuba Diving for first-timers, recreational and specialty courses, PADI TecRec for the more adventurous, plus guided fun dives and snorkelling trips. Sessions run from USD 75, with instruction in English and German.

The centre's position gives year-round access to Malta and Gozo's top dive sites, including wrecks such as the Um El Faroud oil tanker, the P-29 patrol boat and the Rozi tug at Cirkewwa. In summer, boat trips reach the Comino area, home to sites like Crystal Lagoon and Santa Marija Cave.
