Become a Dune Diver!

  If you dive in Malta, there is only one dive centre to go with and that's Go Dive Malta in Mellieha. Owned by Marco and Valentina, this dive centre is... read more possibly the most professional centre I have had the pleasure of diving with. The whole team are passionate about diving plus the safety of their clients is their number one priority. I had the privilege of diving with dive leaders Miky, the gentle giant and Marco, who could be an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean. Both are expert and experienced divers with thousands of dives between them. What they don't know about diving 'aint worth knowing! I honestly had the best dive experience with Go Dive Malta in Mellieha.
They run as a family friendly business and it was always a pleasure to meet Val and Marco's young children, one of whom is aptly named Ocean.
The Go Dive Malta 'family' is completed with interns Christina and the recently joined Andrea. I wish them both well in their diving careers. They are lucky to be training with the best.
All in all, a great team, a great experience and great Friday night drink in Billy's Bar where all clients are welcomed to talk more about.....diving!
Many thanks to all at GDM. I hope to return in October.

  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.

  We've dived with Go Dive Malta for over 5 years now, and every trip has been amazing - and this one was no exception!

We weren't sure what to... read more expect this time around, given that Marco and Valentina took over from Kevin and Lindsay earlier this year - but we loved every minute of our visit, the diving was great, and we'll definitely be continuing to come back and back to dive with this great team!
Kevin and Lindsay clearly chose carefully when passing on the business, as Marco injects the same fun and enthusiasm into every dive, despite some challenging weather and wind conditions to find good dive sites, and Valentina is fun and friendly whilst running the shop and the bookings/planning side of things.

Highly recommend diving with Go Dive Malta - still the best on the island, and we'll be back!

  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.

  My wife and 15 year old son did the discover scuba dive program. It was brilliant and a real highlight of our Malta holiday. The instructors were super... read more friendly, patient and reassuring. A couple of us were a little nervous but in the end we were all converts and had a great time and were buzzing. Very personalised experience, great value, great equipment and locations to dive. Not to be missed experience.

  Highly recommended having your first experience of diving with Go Dive Malta. We had a brilliant time and went back for a second dive. Our 10 year old loved... read more it too. Also recommend the Snorkeling Safari which we all enjoyed. The staff were professional and made it great fun too.

  Absolutely fantastic dive centre. We were 2 families of “experienced” divers and youngsters wanting to try it for the first time and the guys at Go Dive were amazing with... read more us all. The guided dives around the Rozi, P29 and Um El Faroud were brilliant, and the DSD’s were great for the kids who will now go onto do there open water courses after having such a great time.

Thank you Marco, Valentina and all the guys at Go Dive Malta.

  Another amazing 10 days diving with the guys at Go Dive Malta - Marco and Valentina run a great dive centre, with a friendly welcome and a true family feel!... read more It was great to see all the changes since our last trip.
The diving in Malta keeps us coming back, with the service from the Go Dive team being second-to-none - we wouldn’t consider going with anyone else.
