Malta

Northern Region

Malta’s Northern Region is a small, coastal diving area on the Mediterranean Sea’s eastern side. Most dives are run from shore or short boat rides, with rocky shorelines, sloping seabeds, and sheltered spots that can suit day trips. Conditions are typically seasonal, with calmer water in many periods and cooler temperatures outside peak summer. Marine life is commonly seen on local reefs and invertebrate-rich areas, along with schooling fish where visibility and currents allow. The region is a practical base if you’re staying in Malta and want easy access to a compact network of dive sites.
