Port Region

The Port Region of Malta sits along the eastern part of the archipelago, offering access to sheltered coastal dives in the Mediterranean. Within reach of Valletta, dive sites are typically shallow to moderate in depth with clear, warm waters and moderate currents; conditions are suitable for recreational divers year-round. Centered around easy boat and shore access, the area features rocky seabeds, sea grass meadows, and nearby wrecks that are common in Maltese waters. Expect diverse Mediterranean life, including groupers, snappers, wrasses, and octopus, with visibility often ranging from good to very good in favorable conditions. The region serves as a convenient base for divers exploring Malta’s coastal routes and nearby islets, with options for beginner to intermediate dives and occasional deeper wreck penetration on select sites.
