Guided Diving

For qualified divers who wish to have a dive guide escort them, we run ‘two-dive’ trips (morning) as well as ‘single-trips’ (morning/afternoon – restrictions may apply). Divers from all training agencies and certification levels are welcome. Our daily escorted dive trips are led by dive guides with PADI Professional ratings who are experienced in handling the logistics of dive trips whilst you can relax and enjoy the underwater scenery in the crystal clear sea, free from currents and tides. Moreover, we have a deserved international reputation for outstanding diving with average water temperatures during the summer of 25c and 17c in winter.

Dive sites are chosen on the day, from a number of sites suitable for all levels of experience, taking into account your own experience and preferences, as well as weather conditions. Typically, Buddies offers small groups of divers various wall, reef, wreck & cavern dives around the 3 islands every day. Most sites are shore dives as they are accessible from land, but we also run regular boat trips to Comino & Gozo as well as Malta. Whilst we dive the most popular dive sites around the islands extensively, we often cover sites that are not as well known. This ensures that we will offer you the finest diving of all 3 Islands.
