for Deep Blue

Excellent operation with good staff, facilities and even a technical set up. Dived with them in 2005 and they could not of been more helpful.

Malta has a lot to offer and this is probably one of the best on the island to dive with, they are a very friendly bunch.

Nice report

I have craved diving in Malta for quite sometime, mostly due to the cave diving. However, I have been put off by 2 things :-

1. A, potentially costly, medical required by their authorities ( I heard recently this was no longer needed)
and
2. The entry and exit points (well, exit most I should expect) and you have alluded to this in your report

I have heard tales and seen photos that fair scared the willies out of me!
So, tell us more about these entry and exits

Medicals are no longer required (unless you put a 'yes' in the wrong box . (Instructor/Divemaster medicals for those that work here are only ML 10 (about twelve quid, until the Euro kicks in next year )

Some entry/exit points are a doddle (ladders/steps/slipways etc) some are more 'challenging' - all taken into account when determining the dive plan (as you would expect). Well that's the case in Gozo, but Malta is the same.
