About Maltaqua
Founded in 1970 by Mike and Agnes Upton, Maltaqua has spent 55 years growing into one of Europe's leading dive bases. Its founders—both CMAS National Instructors, PADI Staff Instructors and BSAC Advanced Instructors—have logged thousands of dives since 1968, and as teachers by profession they've always put diver training at the heart of what they do.
A PADI 5 Star IDC with pedigree
Based in Qawra, Maltaqua is a PADI 5 Star IDC with 7 PADI Instructors and holds BSAC School of Excellence status—one of only 4 such schools outside the UK—as well as approval as a UK Ministry of Defence diver training centre. Courses run from PADI Discover Scuba Diving (from USD 96) through PADI Open Water Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, making it a natural fit for first-timers and progressing divers alike.
The surrounding waters are rich in wreck and reef sites, from the Um El Faroud oil tanker and the P-29 patrol boat to Cirkewwa's arches and reefs and the caves and lagoons around Comino Island. Divers may encounter sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish and more.

★ 4 · David Barber · 2011-08-12We did three days of diving, with two leaders. One was excellent, one less so (lots of kicking things, picking things up, taking us deeper than we were rated). The dive shop itself was good, although the equipment rental prices were not made clear beforehand (we also did not ask, to be fair).
