Explore some of the Mediterranean’s most incredible historical wrecks and take a giant leap forward in your diving evolution with the wreck diving course in Malta!
The Wreck Diver course is a specialty designed for certified divers who want to perfect their technique in structured environments, learning to plan dives on sunken ships and perform recreational penetrations with safety and control.
Wreck diving is one of the most breathtaking diving specialties in recreational diving, exploring wrecks using specific safety and penetration techniques.
It’s not just about observing a wreck, but about planning the dive, identifying access points, and maintaining precise buoyancy control to explore the structure safely.
Many of Malta’s best dive sites are wrecks from World War I and II, turning each dive into an authentic historical experience beneath the sea.
Malta is one of the Mediterranean’s most renowned destinations for wreck diving, with sunken ships accessible at recreational depths and of great historical value. Among the most emblematic are:
An imposing 115-meter-long tanker, sunk in 1998. Its enormous open structure and interior corridors make it one of the island’s most impactful dives.
Former military patrol boat converted into an artificial reef, located at recreational depth. Explore decks, compartments, and structural details with excellent visibility.
Tugboat sunk in Cirkewwa, compact and very accessible. It is one of Malta’s most iconic and photographed wrecks, ideal for recreational penetrations in the light zone.
Our Wreck Diver course combines official theoretical training with real dives on some of Malta’s most emblematic sunken ships, applying specific wreck exploration techniques.
Perfect your position, trim, and fin control to avoid stirring up sediment and protect both the historical structure and the marine life that inhabits the wreck.
Learn to analyze depth, access points, entry points, and environmental conditions to plan wreck dives safely.
Practice using a guide line and reel to enter and exit the wreck, always maintaining a reference to the outside.
