Become a Dune Diver!

  When to dive with Go Dive you become part of the family for a few days. Really homely, friendly and welcoming. I did my open Water course here with Sarah... read more and had an amazing few days and booked a couple more dives to finish off the week. I wouldn’t advise listening to Sarah’s advice on parking but her dive instructing was excellent. Only my second time diving and I will never forget this place and the staff. If you’re going to Malta then this is where you wanna learn to dive. The Gozo Trip anf the Open Sea are a must. You are in safe and experienced hands.

  Irresponsible and dangerous dive center.
Un-replaced filters in the compressor, sailing without a commercial license and thus taking customers at sea without insurance, as well as sending skippers out with... read more customers, who do not have the necessary papers to operate a commercial vessel. No wonder 2 out of 4 Divemasters in training leave such an unprofessional center. Although this could also be due to the way the staff is treated. Whistling to staff with just the use of the word 'Tanks!' to indicate that the cylinders need to be refilled. Allow the instructors so few days off that they are exhausted and can no longer guarantee the safety of the customers. The truth about GoDive Malta, the insight of an ex divemaster in training who saw how things really work. The only positive I can give them is that their customer service is generally well taken care of, their instructors and validity of papers not. All fine, until accidents happen, the explanation given to transport Malta goes like this; this just a boat with a group of friends going diving, nothing commercial. I was also asked to give this explanation if there was control. But it is a commercial vessel and so, if an accident happens, no one is insured. and getting help at sea will also be difficult without VHF on board. when I decided to leave Godive Malta after being insulted by the owner as an 'african merchant' which I think is a rather inappropriate comment in this day and age. I also decided to leave the free accommodation for staff. after this I got a lot of inappropriate voice messages telling me that I had to give him money because I left the free flat. I was told that I had to give him money because I decided to leave free lodging. I quote literally from his voice messages 'if you don't pay, I have to do something.' The contract stated 0 euros rent, it also stated that if a tenant terminates the rent without 1 month's notice, he must pay 50% of the rent to the landlord. After i told him i will give him 50% of 0 euro I got the voice message; 'Yes okay give me half of 0, but then give me 100 euro deposit and i will decide when i have to give you back your f***** deposit, friend Hey! you want to do that? let's do that! Baby, you are going to lose baby, you are going to lose! because I know exactly what to do!' (end quote). These are my own experiences with godive Malta, and these are the still manageable stories, a day after my departure the entire team had to end a dive because they felt sick in the water, and guess what, the air filter in the compressor was apparently not replaced, 1 of the team members even had to go to the hospital for a check-up. and as far as I've heard they also had a client last week who was allowed to make a hospital visit for DCI symptoms, although I can't confirm this personally as I wasn't there. What I can confirm is that they won't be of much help with the 100% oxygen, at least not the kit we used during our divemaster training, as it didn't work. After my departure from the center, the new dive center where I was going to work got a nice personal message from Marco telling all the bad things about me, lies that I would be disrespectful and foul mouthed and so on, luckily these people knew better and could make their own judgment, here I was able to finish my training brilliantly and without any problems. but I was not the only one who was harassed after departure by Marco, he also sent an email about the other Divemaster in training to every dive center in Malta telling them not to hire this person, the email contained all made up lies about her, too bad, because this was a very nice girl who could have been a very good divemaster. Customer oriented I can't say much bad about this center, but in terms of treating staff and being in order with safety provisions and correct papers, there is still a lot of work to be done, and until this defect is addressed, I do not recommend this center to anyone. This review is based on my experiences with Godive, in the period May to July 2022, I have no idea how things are going now.

  Superb set up. Thoroughly safety conscious & v. friendly dive centre. Plenty of humour too, everyone was made to feel very comfortable, I went for a week of... read more 10 dives but added a night dive and DPV dive. I went with a friend who’s visited many times. The dives were so well planned with very gradual ascents which left me with plenty of energy! We were with a group of similar level divers all about the same on air which made it very enjoyable. I’ve also picked up lots of handy hints from the brilliant Marco. Next year they are getting a rib - I can’t wait!!

  Marko and vale were fantastic start to finish. My partner (a padi diver) and i (basic DSD) arranged to dive with GoDive.
We went on the scheduled day but... read more unfortunately due to wind conditions we were told it wasn’t safe to go Ahead with the dive. Marko and Vale were great though and explained it fully, prepared our kit for the dive and completed the paperwork with us. They gave us recommendations of places to visit while on holiday and rescheduled for a couple of days later.
On the day of our dive we went to Anchor Bay with Marko. Marko was brilliant and took the time to explain everything and make sure we were both comfortable. Marko pointed out loads of sea life to us and had a very keen eye for an octopus hiding within the rock face which was amazing to see.
It was a great experience and we would happily dive with them again!

  Wonderful experience! I did the EFR and rescue diver course. and then 6 dives. Marco and his team are really nice and professional. Georgina is an amazing instructor. I will... read more come back for sure for more dives ! If you look for a friendly, professional staff with great equipment, Marco, Georgina and Sarah are the best !

  Amazing. They're such a wonderful team and make sure you have a good time. Robi our instructor made it fun and interesting learning so much about diving. It was one... read more to one instructing which made it personal and so lovely to learn about diving. Highly recommend the course, however you might get hooked as we can't wait to come back and try the next course. The wreck diving was fun and interesting. Can't highly recommend this place enough. Thank you for making our honeymoon amazing.

  My son did his OW referral with GoDive and Matt was absolutely fantastic with him - very encouraging and affirming. It was a delight for this mummy to be... read more able to dive with her son on his qualifying dive too...nothing was too much bother. My daughter did her discover scuba with Kerry and she was so patient, calming and caring with her - just what my daughter needed. simply a brilliant dive centre! Marco and Valentina, the owners, are so friendly and arranging everything via email beforehand was very efficient and friendly. A great dive centre and thank you for making it such a brilliant experience for us and our children. We send best wishes to you all, especially "bump", and also a "woof woof" to the most gorgeous husky dog ever!

  One of my best diving experiences! The communication from Valentina was quick and detailed ensuring all of my needs were met. Valentina scheduled me in for many dives some of... read more which were last minute (including a night dive and dpv dive).

The team are super friendly and helpful. Marco allowed me to practice my SMB deployment after reminding me how to do it at the surface. We then sent them up as ‘fireworks’ to celebrate our last dive as a group.

Thank you for making this a memorable experience!

Go dive Malta is one of my favourite dive centres, I look forward to returning next year!
