I learnt to dive in Gozo 2 years ago, and all I have heard about the many dive schools in Gozo is how professional they are - the blue hole at the azure window is my favourite

according to the following, the blue hole was voted one of the top 10 dive sites in Europe

Diving in Malta is wonderful!

I stayed on Comino a few years ago (1999 and 2002) so used on of the many dive companies who were on Gozo and they came over and picked me up. Did some great dives around Gozo and Comino.

There is a dive book with Malta sites in it that you can purchase from any good dive shop. I did only 1 from the book as a few of them are very deep!!

hmmm maybe?

if its the one which has really lovely drawn pictures inside then it must be the same as my missing one!

The dives in it look really fab. (but deep!)

I loved it there and was not disappointed with the diving at all.

Cant remember the name of the company I dived with (i can look it up in my log book if it will be helpful and also list where I dived) but when in Cyprus a boy I was diving with had learnt with St Andrews Dive cove school on Gozo? (if thats what he called them?)

One tip we can offer is that Maltese drivers tend to drive in the shade, if you bare that in mind you shouldn't go to wrong just be carefull of some of the more rural roads which can be quite bumpy with potholes, the good thing is that there are more traffic lights now than there used to be so that can slow things down a tadge.
