Bliss Dive about the centre
Bliss Dive is a boutique dive centre situated in Marsalforn, Gozo, positioned just a minute's walk from the main beach and a short distance from the central parking and bus links. It serves as a dedicated hub for divers looking to explore the unique topography of the Maltese islands, from shallow reef flats to deeper technical environments.
The centre is led by Graham 'Groover' Thurlbeck, an instructor who has logged over 6,000 dives specifically around Gozo over the last 16 years. This deep local knowledge defines the centre's approach, providing a social and personalised atmosphere for both recreational and technical divers.
The club and its team
The centre operates with a multi-agency affiliation, covering PADI, BSAC, SDI, TDI, SSI, and CMAS. This allows for a versatile range of training and certification paths depending on your preferred diving organisation.
