When it comes to diving, the Maltese Islands are for sure the ideal destination. Fortunately, the islands have maintained the surrounding seas’ natural habitat and this gives the diver a unique opportunity to photograph and observe rare species of fish in clean waters. The warm crystal clear waters ensure near perfect diving conditions to enjoy the drop offs, caves, tunnels, grottos and spectacular scenery for which the Maltese coastlines are renowned.
Even during winter, diving can still be practiced. This is due to the fact that in Malta, winters are short and cool and sea temperature never goes down below 13 degrees. Many species of fish find shelter in less deep and warmer waters and therefore the islands have a greater advantage on other countries where winters are not as warm.
The combination of cliffs, caves, wrecks, sandy and rocky sea beds means that one can see a large variety of fauna and flora in the Maltese waters. Due to the size of the islands, one can also take advantage of the fact that more than one diving site can be visited while on holiday since no place is too far!
