ABC Diving - Comino
The team at ABC Diving are the kind of people you instantly warm to. They’re based right on Comino, which is a big plus for us, cutting out those boat transfers from Malta or Gozo and getting you straight to the good stuff. We love that personal touch – they really tailor the diving to what you’re looking for, whether it’s your first breath underwater or you’re pushing into technical territory. They offer the full PADI progression, right up to Instructor Development, which tells you they know their stuff inside out. We’ve spent some fantastic days with them, exploring Comino's north face. Think gentle drift dives past rocky overhangs, light filtering through the caves, and schools of damselfish flitting around. Our favourite has to be a late afternoon dip off Santa Marija Bay, when the light starts to soften and the colours really pop. We’ve found the conditions around Comino generally calmer than some of the more exposed sites on Malta, which makes for some truly relaxed diving. Just remember to pack your own kit; they don’t do rentals.
