Scuba Malta’s St Julian’s center at Portomaso Marina is recognized as one of the best dive centers on the island. We run try dives, SSI and PADI courses and guided dives every day of the week, all year round, just steps from the water.
Scuba Malta runs its main dive center inside Portomaso Marina, a modern sailing marina in the heart of St Julian’s with direct access to the sea. From here we offer try dives, SSI and PADI courses for every level, daily guided dives and snorkeling trips, all year round, with small groups, expert instructors and brand-new equipment.
The marina is just minutes from Spinola Bay, Sliema, Paceville and St George’s Bay, one of Malta’s most popular and well-connected areas, easy to reach from nearby hotels and accommodation.
From your very first breath underwater to professional training, everything happens here. Try dives, official SSI and PADI courses for every level, daily guided dives and snorkeling trips — all leaving from Portomaso Marina, all year round. Pick your adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.
Feel what it’s like to breathe underwater for the first time. We gear up at the center in Portomaso Marina and minutes later you’re surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Malta, with an instructor by your side the whole time, in calm and shallow spots chosen for first-timers. No certification needed, this is where it all starts.
Discover some of the best diving spots in Malta: reefs, caves and WWII wrecks that make this island a legend among divers. We head out from Portomaso Marina every day of the week, all year round, with guides who have over 1,000 dives in these waters and pick each site based on the day’s conditions.
Get your first diving certification and open the door to a lifetime of exploring the sea. Official SSI and PADI courses at our St Julian’s center, with real open-water dives just steps from the marina: no crowded pools, no endless theory. Small groups, your own instructor, and the Mediterranean as your classroom.
Ready to push your limits? Go deeper, master your buoyancy, dive at night or explore the inside of a sunken wreck. Malta’s most iconic sites are a short ride from the center, so every training dive is a real adventure.

I had a fantastic time at Scuba Malta. I first completed my Advanced Open Water Diver course and then spent three more days doing various dives. The trips to Gozo and Comino were particularly breathtaking with the Wracks and caves there. Everything was well organized and explained, and the equipment was in good conditi…

A friend and I just recently completed our Open Water Diver course with Elissa. We couldn't have had a better instructor, and it felt like she knew the places inside out despite having only been in Malta a short time. We settled into diving very quickly thanks to Elissa's calmness and patience, and quickly but thoroug…

No. If you’ve never dived before, our try dives and snorkeling trips need zero experience. If you’re already certified, bring your certification card (SSI, PADI or any recognized agency) and join our daily guided dives.
Right from the marina. We gear up at the center and head out to the dive site chosen for that day based on sea conditions, so you always dive the best available spot
