DIY Diving Package Malta - Unlimited Equipment Hire

Our DIY Unlimited Diving package is an unguided (self-guided) complete diving holiday in Malta for experienced divers — unlimited cylinder hire and air, diver-friendly accommodation, and the freedom to plan and dive your own week, with no guide and no fixed schedule.

This is a rental-only package (not guided diving), available for a minimum of two divers, as you will each need a dive buddy. It suits qualified divers (minimum 30-metre depth certification — PADI Advanced Open Water, BSAC Sports Diver or equivalent) who already know the Maltese dive sites.

An easy, complete package

Your diving, your accommodation and your cylinders are all in one place, and we can arrange your airport transfer too — so your holiday is sorted from the moment you land. You simply choose your dive sites each day.

What's included

  • 7 nights' apartment accommodation (two sharing a room)
  • Use of our wet room to wash and store your dive equipment
  • 5-day hire of two cylinders per person (10 or 12 L) and weights
  • Unlimited air refills

Unlimited diving

New for 2027, we now provide two cylinders each, so you do not need to drive back to refill after the first dive: less driving, more diving. If you are up for more, you are welcome to come back and refill for free. You will need your own vehicle to reach the dive sites, with room for your gear and cylinders.

Rates for 2027

February to April: €300 per person (two sharing) · €475 private room · Easter week add €20 per night per room.
May to October: €405 per person (two sharing) · €685 private room.

Prefer larger cylinders?

This is our basic package; you are welcome to upgrade, payable in resort. 15 L cylinders €25 per person for the week. Nitrox fills €5 per fill.

Airport transfers

We are just 25 minutes from Malta International Airport (Luqa), and we can arrange your airport pick-up and drop-off as a meet-and-greet service: the taxi driver holds a key to your apartment and makes sure you check in smoothly. We recommend this if you are arriving after office hours. Prices are based on one large bag and one piece of hand luggage per person, each way:

  • 1–2 persons: €45 each way
  • 3–4 persons: €65 each way
  • 5–7 persons: €95 each way
  • 8–10 persons: €145 each way

For more than 10 people, or extra luggage, email us with the total number of persons (divers and non-divers) for a quote.

Accommodation and gear wet room

This package uses our apartments at Sands, in St Paul's Bay. Sizes vary, and we will suggest suitable options based on your group. All guests at Sands have free use of our wet room for washing and storing dive gear; it is in the basement, so you will not need to carry gear up to your apartment.

Can non-divers join us?

Non-divers are very welcome — with so much to see and do on Malta, they are sure to enjoy the holiday too, and we will help them plan their activities. Non-divers are charged only for their share of the accommodation and any airport transfers.
