Reviews of ABC Diving - Malta

The best dive shop on the island

This is THE dive shop to use in Malta. Very professional staff and excellent communication. 3 of us were coming from the US and John and Marcus were incredibly responsive to emails and questions. All my questions were answered and we had the dives all lined up before we arrived, diving multiple days hitting both Cirkewwa Marine Park (Tugboat Rozi & P29 Patrol Boat) and Um-El-Faroud. The wrecks were awesome and pentrable and Liz and Simon were excellent guides. They dive in small groups so it was only the 3 of us with our guide, and being all advanced open water they tailored the dives to our level. I am confident they would give beginning divers the same personal treatment. Without a doubt we would use ABC again. Dive with them, you won't be disappointed!!!

Advanced Open Water

Completed my Advanced Open Water with Simon earlier this month, along with a few fun dives with him and Marcus, as a returning customer from doing my OW last year. They're all lovely people and so much fun to dive with, and the service and training is top notch!

5-star professionals gave me back my confidence and coached me to success!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have just completed my PADI Open Water Diving certification with ABC, and I couldn’t be happier! Having had a bad experience with another diving school a few years ago, I never wanted to get back under the water. But Marcus and the team changed that! Through their constant encouragement, coaching, professionalism and personal touch, I regained my confidence, learnt new skills and learnt to relax, and now I’m not only looking forward to committing to recreational dives every couple of months, but also (hopefully) my Advanced Open Water next year 🤿❤️👍 Would recommend ABC without hesitation to anyone looking to dive for the first time or develop their existing skills. These guys are definitely 5-star professionals!

Great diving Experiences with ABC Diving at Malta

ABC Diving at Malta is a very professional and friendly Diving Center. From signing up and having an initial dialogue about our dives on our vacation at Malta and through the daily preparation and the actual dives we always felt well taken care of and under safe supervision, and in good company. And the dives were really nice. I think we got the most out of our dives including diving at portals, caves, holes and seeing a fine variety of sea life. The last day we were even asked to join a course that was not planned for. We can only give our best recommendations to ABC Diving at Malta!

Great Dive Center

Great Dive Center!!! Had 2 dives at Rozi and P29 and as I told Liz everything was far beyond my expectations!!! Rental equipment in great condition (almost new), kind staff (John will help you with almost anything you need), experienced instructor and dive guides (Liz is the greatest) and great dive sites!!! And all of these in really great prices!!! I've really loved these guys!!! Plan your dives at Malta with them you won't regret it!!!

If you are in Malta, go to ABC Diving Malta!!

The best diving school I ever had the pleasure to dive in! I have recommended them to every one of my friends and family and would send strangers there without hesitation. Highly professional, John answers you within minutes. No matter what questions you may have, immediately everything is explained to you extremely helpful. The equipment is more than professional. I have been diving in several dive centers and have never used such professional equipment from such a well equipped dive center. I tried the Wing-BCD on the recommendation of the dive center - that was a completely different diving experience! Every day I was picked up, had fresh coffee put in my hand, had wonderful dives that I like to think back to back at the office. Wrecks, reefs, the open blue, it was a dream dive experience! Special thanks to John who organized everything wonderfully. If you have the chance to dive with Marcus, take it, his reputation as an "underwater god" does not precede him for nothing. And thanks also to Derick, who was never too shy for a joke. You feel absolutely safe with any dive instructor there and in good hands at all times. I was recommended the dive center by my trusted dive instructor and I am very happy to have acted on that recommendation. The highest compliment from a fellow German is "You can't complain there." My expectations were completely exceeded, not only can I not complain, I am already looking forward to the next time to go diving with the ABC team again. Thank you!! If you are in Malta, go to ABC Diving Malta!!! :)

Fantastic experience from first contact to diving.

From my first email enquiring, through the dive days John and the team were responsive, accommodating, friendly, flexible , safety focused and professional. They provided the best service across many different tourist operators around the world I have used over many years. It was the small things like clear communication on pick up point, coffee on arrival, water and oranges for the days, along with top quality dive gear which the washed at the end of each day, including my personal gear. Special thanks to Simon instructor/guide for fantastic dives and his approach made my experience safe, with no stress. I’m am already planning a return trip to Malta and diving will be with ABC, I can’t recommend the enough.

Best Dive Shop in Malta ... and Possibly Anywhere ... Would Dive With Them Anywhere!

Not only did I complete my advanced underwater certification with ABC Diving, but I also enjoyed 7 dives with ABC on Malta spread over three days. It was, hands down, the best SCUBA experience I have had in the 12+ years that I have been diving. From Australia, to Hawaii, to the Caribbean and Central America, SCUBA diving in Malta offers clear water, amazing wildlife, and incredible wrecks; and ABC Diving was there with me every step of the way to ensure that I had the most fun and safest experience possible. They scheduled each day with room for breaks, food, and provided all transportation. All I had to do was bring a towel and sunscreen. The staff is knowledgeable, passionate, caring, professional, fun, and remained willing to adjust when unexpected challenges arose. I wouldn't dive with any other company in Malta ... they were truly fantastic.

Great Diving experience

Another amazing diving holiday with ABC Diving. We had such a good experience last year that our dive group returned for another weekend with ABC Diving. Marcus, Liz, and Alex are wonderful instructors and guides. They have now certified myself and my 2 sons in OW and AOW. If you want to go with a flexible and most importantly safe dive outfit in Malta then I suggest you look no further that ABC Diving.

Fantastic

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Great communication when planning my trip. Pick up from my hotel, welcomed with a smile and friendly chat with John en-route to the dive centre. Delicious coffee on arrival whist talking with Marcus about the plans for the 3 days diving I had booked. Followed by 3 days incredible diving around Malta, with complementary Kitkats between dives 😀. My equipment was even cleaned and hung to dry ready for me to collect before my flight home. If you're diving in Malta I couldn't reccomend ABC Diving highly enough! My only regret is that I didn't stay longer 😁 Can't wait to go back next year!

Great dive. Fun, professional, organised, safe.

Two wreck dives just near Valletta on a Saturday in March. They were absolutely brilliant. I organised this as a birthday present for my husband and John was great with all the admin - he was organised, responded quickly and in full each time and covered off all necessary detail (eg our own holiday insurance only covering dives to depths of 18m and the dive guide set up to make sure Owen knew where the limit was). On the day, my husband loved it. He had a great dive master as the guide in Liz, was very impressed with the quality of the kit (and volume to ensure stayed warm!) and the briefings and support were all managed incredibly safely. Would definitely dive with ABC diving again. Thanks guys! Great day!
