Saint Andrew's Divers Cove - Comino
The team at Saint Andrew's Divers Cove are the kind of people you want to dive with. They’re based right on Comino, which means you’re already halfway to some seriously good diving without a long boat ride. We’ve always found their instruction top-notch, whether it’s pushing your limits with technical or CCR training, or getting someone comfortable with their first breaths underwater. They really excel at tailoring trips, so you never feel like just another diver on a conveyor belt. What sets them apart is their access to the Comino sites – we’re talking the Santa Marija caves or the P31 wreck, all just a stone's throw away. We especially love the early morning dives they can arrange; the light filtering into the caverns before the day boats arrive is magical, illuminating schools of damselfish that scatter as you approach. The visibility around Comino is often superb, sometimes a good 30 metres, letting you really appreciate the scale of the drop-offs. If you’re looking to get certified, or even just fancy a few guided dives away from the busier spots, this is our pick. They’re pros, but they keep it genuinely fun and personal.
