Many divers return year after year to visit the vast network of impressive caverns, tunnels, arches and swim-throughs that create amazing natural light displays for photography.
At this time of year, early summer warm weather is settling in – so diving conditions will make things very “easy” for all of us. Most dive sites can be picturesque, relatively shallow and stress-free – and then there’s always the opportunity for some serious depth for the hard-core Trimix Tekkies.
You can join this trip even if you’re not qualified yet. As long as you’ve completed the class and pool training you can complete the qualifying dives for the Open Water course out in Malta. In order to do this you have to commit to undertaking the PADI Advanced course as well simply because most dive sites require this level of training/experience.
But you don’t need to stop there! Want to get more courses under your belt? We also recommend the PADI Nitrox, Deep & Wreck specialty courses so that you can get the very best out of the holiday.
The May 2021 trip is also set up for TRIMIX training for both Tec60 CCR & Open Circuit Tec65.
