Dune Malta

DUNE operates as a high-end diving travel specialist with over two decades of experience in organising complex underwater expeditions. Rather than a local dive shop, they function as a dedicated agency for divers seeking curated liveaboards and specialised dive safaris worldwide.

From the historic wrecks of the Red Sea to the vibrant reefs of the Maldives and the cenotes of Mexico, they design itineraries that cater to specific diving interests. Whether you are looking for deep technical exploration or cultural immersion, their focus remains on safety, expertise, and environmental responsibility.

The team at DUNE is built on a foundation of field expertise and a deep-rooted culture of safety. They provide 24/7 expert assistance to ensure that every diver on their expeditions is supported from the moment they arrive until they return home.

They offer multilingual support, with French-speaking guidance available to assist with trip planning and on-site coordination. Their approach is heavily influenced by an eco-responsible ethos, such as their work in the Maldives supporting the Manta Trust for the protection of reef species.

DUNE provides training for a wide range of certification levels. You can begin your journey with the Open Water Diver course and progress through to the Advanced Open Water Diver qualification.

For divers looking to refine their skills, they also offer various dive level upgrade courses. Their expertise extends into the technical realm, catering to those interested in rebreather diving and more advanced underwater exploration.

For those participating in their structured programmes, DUNE provides comprehensive support including airport transfers to ease the logistics of your trip. While they focus on organised expeditions, they ensure that the essential components of your dive, such as 12L cylinders and weights, are integrated into their service offerings.

The marine life encountered on these expeditions is vast and diverse. You will regularly see sea turtles, rays, and various colourful fish throughout the reefs. Larger pelagics such as reef sharks, grey sharks, and nurse sharks are common, along with eagle rays and barracudas.

In certain seasons, the sightings become even more significant. You can encounter whale sharks from June to September, while mola mola are also present seasonally. Hammerhead sharks and longimanus are also part of the regular pelagic encounters in many of their destination zones.

For those interested in the smaller details of the reef, the biodiversity includes a wide array of tropical fish and various species of colourful reef inhabitants. The presence of Napoleon wrasse and other large reef residents adds to the spectacle of the underwater landscape.

Diving conditions vary significantly depending on the chosen destination, ranging from the calm, translucent waters of cenotes to the more dynamic environments of the Maldives and Red Sea. Divers should plan according to the specific characteristics of the site, such as the currents found in channels or the protected nature of lagoons.
