Dive Systems - Comino
Okay, let's talk about Dive Systems. While their main shop is in Sliema, we're really focusing on their Comino operation – and what an operation it is. We love how they’ve set themselves up right on the island, giving you direct access to Comino's iconic dive sites without the boat trek from Malta or Gozo every day. This immediate proximity to sites like Santa Marija Caves and the P31 wreck makes a huge difference; you’re often first in the water, avoiding the midday crowds. The team at Dive Systems are exactly who you want to be diving with. They’re super knowledgeable about the local currents and the best times to find things like octopuses tucked into crevices or barracuda schooling off the drop-offs. We’ve found their instructors, especially for the SSI specialty courses, really go the extra mile, making sure you’re comfortable and confident. It's a great choice if you're looking to complete an Advanced Open Water or a specific specialty like Night Diving or Wreck Diving – being able to roll out of bed and onto the boat for a pre-breakfast dive just feels right. For us, the vibe is relaxed but professional, perfect for a dedicated dive holiday.
