Dive Center

 
In the spring of 2021, the premises of the dive center in the basement of the LABRANDA Riviera Hotel & Spa were renovated and partly new or rebuilt, so we can welcome you in an all-around diver-friendly base.

Our diving center can come up with a own indoor pool for dive training and impresses with its spacious reception or check-in area. In the store area we offer snorkeling and diving equipment for sale, as well as Dive Vision Malta merchandising items and various souvenirs. In our photo equipment corner and charging station, underwater photographers can work undisturbed with their cameras and prepare them for diving and post-diving. The equipment also includes a separate compressor room and a small workshop area, as well as a separate training room. Of course, there is also a separate shower and toilet area for our divers. For the post-processing of the equipment, we offer wash pools and sufficient stowage and suspension of the diving equipment.

 

Equipment Facts:

  • Bauer 550 compressor with nitrox mixing system
  • 60 compressed air tanks with mono DIN valves: 7 and 12 liter aluminum tanks, 10 and 15 liter steel tanks
  • 20 complete diving equipment for rental (wetsuits, boots, BCDs, regulators, computers, fins and masks)
  • 4 sidemount equipment
  • 3 underwater scooters

 
With the "Happy Days", our 9.5 meter long speed boat for 15 people, we offer you comfortable boat diving at the great dive sites around North Malta, Comino and Gozo. The boat is equipped with two 215 hp engines, exit ladders, toilets and GPS. For shore dives we have different trucks and minibuses available.
 
 

Dive Sites

The perfect central location makes Dive Vision Malta probably one of the most interesting and relaxed starting points for diving on the island of Malta. Especially since we are only five minutes drive away from one of the top diving areas, Cirkewwa, with its two wrecks.
Vis á vis the dive center is the small island of Comino with its numerous, well known dive sites. The island of Gozo can also be reached directly from our bay, within a fifteen minutes drive by boat.

And if the weather doesn't allow boat diving, we can also reach our little sister island Gozo in no time by ferry, as our base is only a five minute drive from the ferry terminal. Of course we also offer regular trips to the spectacular wreck of the "Um El Faroud". The Lebanese tanker, with its proud length of 110 meters, lies at a depth of up to 38 meters still in the recreational diving area.
