Great Intro To Scuba Diving St Paul's Bay- Very Professional & Friendly - Aquatica Diving Centre St Paul's Bay are very, VERY professional and excellent instructors both dry training (pre) and in water. Company use divessi.com as portal for all learning (inc basic for awareness in the underwater world). And yes, forms to fill, but they are happy to help. Intro to Scuba course fab. Francesca is a great communicator doing landside training. And higly competent multilinguist manager. Vinnie our dive instructor from Costa Rica, a talented thoughtful young man: graduate of eco tourism, highly conscious to espouse the need to respect our precious seas and oceans which we fully took on board (touch nothing !). Just right. Both of them. Malta does not disappoint. It is busy. It is high season, but it pays off to walk a little further to find the holiday gems in your area. We have booked more, with guided snorkelling next. Thank you for a memorable family experience!

Great set-up, lovely instructors - Emma and Rachel were fantastic instructors who really looked after our family unit. Where some of us were a bit nervous having never done anything like scuba before Emma was so patient taking everyone slowly through the drills and with a fantastic sense of humour throughout. Rachel was great in looking after one of party who followed along on the surface due to nerves and the rest of us went on a circular scuba around the clear waters getting to see fish moving in shoals and experience the ethereal environment. Thoroughly recommend!

Best experience ever - We went to Sliema for our Dive-Experience. We had such a great time! Our instructor, Marcel, explained everything really well and was very kind and funny. The only problem was, that the time went by so fast.
Thank you for everything, c u

Great first experience - Me and my partner did this together, this booking is for a try dive for Beginners. We were completely new to the experience and had an amazing time. Emma and Marcell were so reassuring and attentive, they made us feel completely at ease, safe and were very patient when my wife was nervous. We saw lots of shoaling fish, even near the surface. Even though it was April, the wet suits provided kept you lovely and warm.

Fantastic excursion - do the light homework before hand - Really fun experience! We were in very good hands with our instructors - they made sure we were all safe in and out of the water.
Heads up to others who plan on booking this:
1. Read the pre-dive material and try to practice the hand signs before your excursion.
2. If you plan on renting an underwater camera or towel, coordinate with Diveshack ahead of time.
3. Theres an upgrade on their website to dive to see a ship 🚢. I'd check that out if that interests you as well.
Overall, my partner and I had a fantastic time! Highly recommend!

VERY Unfortunate , but really not a good experience - Im really sorry for this review, but i really did not enjoy the experience overall …
I came before my booking time , due to to wanting answers to some questions i had, unfortunately, this did not happen as Beth & holly were more interested in me going to sit a few doors down in a cafe & to come back for my booking time… so i did that came back & then didn't even get to ask my questions , because i then had to sort out documents + see if equipment fitted (everything just felt rushed. After this i was told we will be going to St Pauls Bat site to do the dive to meet Moteo… so we got there for them to tell me theres no changing site... eventhough I asked at the Silema Site, if I could change there as I had my swimming custome, plus my own diving suit, so again things felt very rushed & really didn't help with Moteo rushing through the instructions & what to do.. considering this experience is for beginners ( it really didn't feel like it) which resulted in me not being able to continue with the activity…. I definitely would NOT recommend this to beginners & hoping to get a full refund from my bank as I weren't able to get it from them.
