The story of Scuba Malta

Scuba Malta was born from one diver’s obsession. Enol Argüelles, instructor, explorer, and the kind of diver who can’t sit still; spent years hunting down the world’s best dive destinations, dropping into wrecks, drifting over reefs, and diving some of the most iconic spots on the planet.

Along the way, he saw how diving centers operated in country after country. And he knew he could do it better.

So he came to Malta and built Scuba Malta from scratch, with one clear vision: create a diving experience that blows the industry standard out of the water.

The result is a diving center designed by divers, for divers,where every dive is carefully planned and every detail obsessed over, so you come up from every dive grinning behind your mask.

Certified SSI / PADI diving instructors

Every instructor at Scuba Malta is hand-picked for their experience, skill, and genuine passion for diving. SSI and PADI certified, serious about what they do, and obsessed with making your time underwater count.

With thousands of diving hours in Maltese waters, they know this place inside out: the dive sites, the sea conditions, the quirks and secrets that only come from years of diving the same waters over and over again.

That kind of local knowledge makes a real difference, whether you’re doing your first ever course or your hundredth guided dive. Our instructors don’t just teach you dive techniques — they help you read the marine environment, understand what you’re seeing, and get in the water with the confidence to truly enjoy it.

Top-notch dive equipment and professional facilities

At Scuba Malta we use top-notch scuba diving equipment, regularly inspected and maintained so it performs flawlessly every single time you gear up. High-performance regulators, comfortable and stable BCDs, wetsuits matched to Mediterranean conditions, and modern dive computers that keep you on top of every detail of your dive.

Our centers are fully set up for training and dive organization: dedicated spaces for briefings, theory sessions, and equipment prep before every outing.

For beginner courses, we use a pool or confined water so students can nail the fundamental skills in complete safety before taking their first breath underwater in the open sea.
