Gozo Aqua Sports Dive Centre

Located in Marsalforn on the island of Gozo, Gozo Aqua Sports Dive Centre has been a fixture of the local diving community for more than 30 years. This PADI 5 Star centre is perfectly positioned to take you out to the best sites across the Maltese archipelago, from the sheltered waters of Comino to the deeper offshore wrecks.

The centre is defined by its long-standing expertise and its ability to cater to a diverse range of diving interests. Whether you are looking for a relaxed day of reef exploration or are progressing through technical training, the operation is built on a foundation of local knowledge and professional standards.

The team operates with a focus on professionalism and safety, backed by three decades of experience in the Mediterranean. As a PADI 5 Star centre, they maintain high standards across all their training and excursion programmes.

Instruction is available through multiple certifying bodies, including PADI, TDI, and JJ CCR. This allows the centre to support divers from their very first breath underwater through to advanced technical and rebreather qualifications.

The training programme is comprehensive, catering to every level of diver. You can begin your journey with entry-level courses and progress through to advanced certifications like the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver.

For those moving into the technical realm, the centre offers specialised training through TDI and JJ CCR. This includes technical diving courses and rebreather training for divers looking to push the boundaries of depth and duration.

The centre operates its own dedicated dive boat, which serves as the base for excursions to the surrounding islands. This vessel allows for organised trips to the various sites around Malta and Comino, including night dives.

Nitrox is available on board for those looking to extend their bottom time during recreational dives.

The centre provides a full range of equipment for hire, ensuring you can dive even if you are travelling light. This includes complete kit sets and the availability of DPV (diver propulsion vehicles) for those wanting to explore more extensively.

For those looking to manage their gas more efficiently, Nitrox is available on-site with fills provided up to 40%.

The highlight of the local waters is the opportunity to see Atlantic bluefin tuna in their ranching pens. These large pelagics provide a rare and powerful encounter in the open sea.

The surrounding reefs and rocky structures are home to a variety of Mediterranean life. You will find diverse marine life throughout the area, making every dive an opportunity for new sightings.

Diving in this region is influenced by the local geography of the Maltese islands. While many sites are accessible via boat, divers should be aware of the conditions when heading to offshore locations like the tuna pens.

Night diving is a regular part of the centre's programme, offering a completely different perspective on the local marine life and topography.
