Malta, Gozo and Comino offer scenic dive sites that will make your stay in Malta unforgettable. Summer water temperatures average 26c and winter is usual + 12c. The islands provide a wealth of sites for newcomers and experienced divers. Most locations are without currents making them easy even for first time divers to get a close view of the Mediterranean Sea life.

At Oxygene's PADI certified schools we offer short beginner courses or Referral courses – allowing you to complete the open water dives and gain certification. You are introduced to local, sheltered sites close to the dive school and afterwards you’re off to more interesting sites.

Certified divers can visit sites like the wreck of the Rozi in Cirkewwa, or Lantern Point in Comino, with an underwater chimney dropping down over 16 metres and then out onto a reef provides an exciting challenge.

Comino's popular Irqieqa Point is a site for experienced divers. This is a thin piece of land with a 40 m drop. Here you can often find shoals of bogue and sometimes sardines. These in turn lure in the occasional amberjacks, dentex and occasionally tunas. The St. Maria caves dive site offers the opportunity of seeing octopus, eels and small groupers.

Gozo is ideal for underwater photographers. Experienced divers can explore the Blue Chimney and the deep waters of Dwejra Point. In the same area lies the fascinating Coral Cave. This natural cave with a sandy bottom at 22 metres is home to different types of coral sponges, virgin lace and the rare marine goldfish.

The island of Malta also has numerous wrecks. One of the most well known is the HMS Maori – near fort St. Elmo in Valletta. It was bombed and sunk while moored at the entrance to Dockyard Creek during the second world war. Divers can enter the wreck easily through the starboard side. Another famous wreck is the Blenheim Bomber, a World War II plane from the RAF. This can be found at 42 metres in Xorb l-Ghagin near Delimara.

Night dives can be enjoyed at Wied iz-Zurrieq, where the valley onland continues underwater. This is where marine life comes alive and hunts and feeds The site is easily accessible via ladders leading to the sea.
