Start planning

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (maltadives.com, dive centres on Gozo and Malta, stranypotapecske.cz, Wikipedia, ERA, TDI, BSAC, Visit Gozo, Maltese diving regulations 2012, hospital websites, Gozo Channel, news; Sept 2026). Pins mostly come from maltadives.com (4 decimals) and Wikipedia, checked against the right stretch of coast; ~ = estimate. Rules, prices and access change — check locally.
