We're delighted to share some wonderful news: Maltaqua has been named Best Dive Centre by the Malta Tourism Authority at the Malta Tourism Wards ceremony on April 14th 2026.
It's a recognition that means a great deal to our whole team, and the latest milestone in a story that began here on Malta back in 1969.
Why choose Malta?
This award means even more given Malta's growing reputation as a diving destination.
The islands were crowned the world's best diving destination at the boot Düsseldorf Dive Awards 2025 and went on to collect eight diving recognitions at the 2026 Scuba Diving Magazine Readers' Choice Awards, including Best Cave/Cavern/Grotto.
To be singled out as the best dive centre within a destination of this calibre is something we're immensely proud of, and grateful to the Malta Tourism Authority for.
If you've not yet been scuba diving in Malta with us, here's why so many of our guests come back year after year.
Scuba diving in Malta offers some of the finest underwater experiences in the Mediterranean, with visibility reaching around 30 metres and an exceptional variety of wrecks, reefs, caves and tunnels within easy reach of shore.
Why dive with Maltaqua?
As a family-run centre and the first PADI centre in Europe, a BSAC Centre of Excellence and an approved UK Ministry of Defence training facility, we pair that natural playground with the safety, training and hospitality that come from more than fifty years of experience.
