1.First Experience Scuba Diving Lesson

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 415 reviews · from $91Our pick

Malta first-time scuba lesson with Aquatica centre. Small group coaching, online theory, two underwater sessions, max 12 m.

“It was a wonderful experience and coach. It is my first time and in general I am not used to sea water. I got afraid under the water and the coach helped me to relax and finally I finished the diving. I didn’t equalize enough when diving so my ears started to hurt. After several times of trying to equalize, my ears still hurt but better. Finally, the coach let me dive in shallow water, which is still nice. Highly recommended!”

“My 2 teenage sons did the discovery scuba dive session. Unfortunately I did not catch their instructors name but he is originally from Poland. He was very informative, explained everything in detail and made me feel they were in safe hands. Also, there was a second instructor with them too, he was very nice and supportive too, I think he is called Nikko. They had a really great morning.”

The experience was great, and we dived for roughly one hour, the remaining time allocated for tutorials, a small quiz, transfer to the diving spot (around 5 mins away), and preparation. We could see lots of fish of different sizes. I would totally recommend for a first experience!”
