ABC Diving

Malta Island, Malta

The team at ABC Diving are the real deal if you’re looking to dive Malta and really improve your skills. Situated right on the water in Turtle Bay, their setup makes logistics easy, a big plus when you’re hauling gear. We love them for their solid PADI IDC courses, turning out confident instructors who know the local waters inside and out. If you’re serious about moving up the PADI ladder, or just want genuinely good instruction, these are your people. What sets ABC apart, beyond the serious teaching, is their knowledge of the Malta wrecks. They’ll get you onto the Um El Faroud or the P29 with a detailed brief that feels like a history lesson, not just a dive plan. We’ve found their instructors have this knack for making even a familiar site feel fresh, pointing out the moray eels tucked into the engine room or the subtle currents around the bow. Our favourite time to dive with them is early morning, beating the crowds to some of the more popular shore entries, often getting that glassy surface for the boat rides. It’s a professional outfit, but with a friendly, unpretentious vibe that always makes us feel welcome.
