Question Dive centres in Qwara

Hi all,

I'm off to Malta early June and would like some recommendations please on dive centres in Qwara, ideally those that do trips to the Blenhiem bomber and also offer the hire of twinsets.

Any other info would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Safe diving,
Steve

When I went a couple of years ago I used Divewise from Dragonara. Although not in Qwara they will pick you up from the hotel if required, they aren't a million miles away and were very helpful.

In this momths diver they have another WW2 plane wreck not far from their dive centre.

Have dived malta twice, once with Maltaqua - great service, excellent guides, pick you up from the hotel etc. Not sure about twinsets but pretty sure they do. Also do DPV hire. www.maltaqua.com
Second time was with Strand, when we hired cyinders and lead, they hired twinsets for definate. Much cheaper but a bit more DIY - we hired jeeps and did wacky races.

Like Porg, I've dived with Maltaqua and Strand, both very good. Maltaqua are best if you want to be guided, Strand are better if you wanbt to be a bit more independant, although both cater for both sets.

Maltaqua may hire twins but I didn't see any, strand definitely do (I was on the wacky races trip that Porg mentioned).

Both, and all centres will orgainse boat trips to Blenhiem bomber for experienced divers. A few hire DPVs but normally only for a guided dive.

Hope this helps

Conor

Qawra

I always dive with Subway in Bugibba (a fin throw from Qawra). Their web site is www.subway.com. Worth checking out.

I've spent several holidays at the Sunny Coast resort in Qawra and can recommend Dive Deep Blue in Bugibba. Its a five minute walk inland from the beach at Qawra, and they'll collect you and return you to your hotel. A really good bunch, run by a Yorkshire lad, married to a Maltese lady. Nice people and they really cater to what you want.

The site is www.divedeepblue.com
