Plongée Malte - Comino
The team at Plongée Malte are a genuinely friendly bunch, mostly French-speaking, operating right from Comino. That’s a game-changer if you ask us. Instead of long boat rides from the main island, you’re already right on top of some of Malta’s best spots. We love how quickly you can be underwater, often just minutes after stepping off the boat. They specialise in getting people comfortable in the water, from Baptême for nervous first-timers to full professional training. For certified divers, it’s all about convenience. We’ve had some fantastic dives with them at sites like the Comino Caves, gliding through those blue shafts of light, or exploring the P31 patrol boat wreck. Seeing those schools of damselfish stream past the deck of the P31, feeling that slight current tugging at your fins, that’s what we go for. Their local knowledge means you often hit the sites when they're less crowded. If you’re staying on Comino, or just want to maximise your dive time without the fuss of daily transfers, Plongée Malte is our top pick.
