EXPLORE FROM THE SURFACE
Enjoy the exceptional visibility of the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters with a guided snorkeling experience. No certification or prior experience is needed: just know how to swim and have the desire to discover the sea of Malta.
We take you by boat to some of the best snorkeling areas on the island. You will swim over rocky seabeds and observe marine life from the surface, always accompanied by our instructors.
An ideal activity for all levels and perfect for sharing an outing with divers.
Snorkeling is a simple and accessible activity to explore the sea from the surface, using a mask, snorkel and fins. From our dive centers in St Julian’s and St Paul’s Bay, we depart by boat to areas of crystal-clear water where you can observe marine life without the need for certification or prior experience.
Unlike scuba diving, snorkeling does not involve descending to great depths or using self-contained equipment. You breathe naturally through the snorkel while floating comfortably on the surface, enjoying the visibility and marine life that make Malta one of the most attractive destinations in the Mediterranean.
It is an ideal option to enjoy the sea of Malta in a relaxed way; to go under the surface, book a Try Dive in Malta.
Our snorkeling experience is designed for you to enjoy the sea in a simple and organised way. From the moment you arrive at the center until you return, everything is prepared so that you only have to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean.
We meet at the dive center you book from, in St Julian's or St Paul's Bay, where we provide the complete snorkeling equipment: mask, snorkel and fins. A short briefing covers how to move in the water and what to expect during the activity.
We depart by boat or truck from the center to an area of calm, crystal-clear water. We choose the spot according to the sea conditions on the day, which is where having two centers helps: north and south coasts rarely have the same conditions.
In the water, the instructor accompanies and supervises the group (maximum 8 people) at all times. You will remain on the surface exploring the seabed and observing marine life without descending to depth.
From either of our two centers, we organise the complete trip to an area of crystal-clear water. The instructor supervises the activity, guides the group and helps you identify marine life throughout the experience.
You just have to come and enjoy the Mediterranean; we take care of the rest.
Mask, snorkel, and fins included so you can move comfortably and enjoy the surface experience with total safety.

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…
We had an unforgettable experience with Scuba Malta! We arrived from our cruise ship and took a short taxi ride to their dive center.

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…
Tell us your dates and we’ll sort out the rest. We’re happy to talk through any of our courses, dives and snorkeling sessions.
None at all. Snorkeling needs no certification and no previous experience. If you can swim and you enjoy being in the sea, you’re ready.
Around 1.5 hours in total: getting your gear ready, the trip out to the spot and time in the water. You’ll be snorkeling for 45 to 60 minutes of that.
Yes. You need to be a confident swimmer and comfortable in open water to join the activity.
From either of our dive centers, in St Julian’s or St Paul’s Bay. From there we head to the best snorkeling spot of the day, chosen according to the sea conditions.
Often, yes. We run plenty of trips where part of the group dives and the rest snorkels, either at the same spot or right next to it. Everyone gets in the water together.
Swimsuit, towel, water and a dry change of clothes for the trip back. We ask everyone to change before getting into the vehicle.
Safety comes first. If the sea is rough we either move you to another day or find a sheltered spot with good conditions. Having centers on the north and south coasts means there is almost always somewhere calm to go.
