Gozo Dive Aqua Sports

★ 5 · amanda cox · 2009-07-27

For those who haven't dived Gozo, you're missing a trick. Certainly for us Brits, it's very handy, just 2.5 hours out of Heathrow, a short trek across Malta and hop onto the ferry to Gozo and you're there. We've done two long weekends there in the last year and plan to go back for more. It's pretty much shore diving all the way, with a few tricky entrances and exits. If you do go, I cannot recommend Gozo Aqua Sports in Marsalforn highly enough. Thanks to George, our main man there, but also to Mark our dive master this time round, their discipline and focus on safety and enjoyment is key. The groups are small, often just us and a couple of DMs. Trips go out am and pm and you can get night diving but our's was cancelled this time round due to strong winds and the invasion of the jellyfish (thousands of them!). Recommended dive sites are Inland Sea, the MV Karweller, a 36m wreck dive, the Blue Hole of course, and try and get to the Comino caves if you can - stunning. Don't miss out on shallower dives with plenty to offer and a full hour and 10mins underwater! We haven't done any photography yet, but the opportunities to get great shots are fantastic . You get to see a fair bit of the Gozo landscape as well as you drive from site to site. If you stay in Marsalforn, try Il Kartell or Pierre's for food, and Smugglers for drinks (or Bojangles if you want to talk to British ex pats). And Maria Giovanna for B&B (Tiramisu for breakfast anyone?).
