This page outlines some simple
safeguards which have been enacted in Malta to
protect anyone wishing to dive.
Minimum age:
Children under the age of 8 years may not use
an Aqualung while those under 18 years require
the written permission of a parent or guardian.
Medical Fitness:
You can wave, sign off your own medical here at
the dive centre. If you are over 45 yrs of age
you will need a doctor's certificate , which could
also be done here at the dive centre for only
Lm 7. Asthma, diabetes and epilepsy are some of
the disqualifying factors for diving in Malta.
All divers must be accompanied
by a Malta Government registered instructor and
you will be listed in all our dives. If you have
a Padi Advanced Open Water Diver Certification
you can organise your own dives.
Organizing your own dives can
be obtained by divers qualified to PADI Open Water
with 10 logged dives (this is normally interpreted
as being an Advanced Open Water Diver), a BSAC
Sports Diver, a CMAS 2 star diver or equivalent.
The applicant is also required to complete an
application form and medical statement.
Please don't see any of the above
as a hurdle to diving in Malta, this is just a
small investment for a medical check up and to
be reassured you are fit to dive.
