    Good PADI Centres in Gozo Please.

    As per the title, can anyone recommend one or two good outfits in Gozo for complete beginners please? Somewhere the customer really can set the pace, as it is someone who needs to take time to build up confidence.

    TIA

    I'm diving with Gozo Aqua Sports in August - they come highly recommended (by Fezboy), and so far have been very friendly and helpful via email. They are based in Marsalforn. Drop Gail a message, I'm sure she will help you out.

    I used these people in 2003. There are at least two other PADI schools in Xlendi
    I had a fab time with these people. Decent fills, decent dive briefs, although one translation in italian went wrong I thought 40m when the leader said 50m oops.
    You will be fine your better half will be fine with you to hold her hand.
    Diving is clear water but not much life-Go night diving as often as you can. Then you see the wildlife.

    I can vouch for Gozo Aqua Sports. They are a top center and have no hesitation in reccomending them. I took my Rescue Course there and so did my wife, in all we've been there three times. They have the right balance of informality and safety.

    I used Calypso Diving in Marsalforn. Friendly, helpful and well organised.

    TonyF, Sue and Little Urchin will be diving with them in August too.
    Macca will be diving with Blue Waters Dive Centre

    When are you thinking about going?

    There's a few of us going to be there around about the last couple of weeks in August. And Gozo being so small, we are going to try and meet up.

    A vote for Moby Dives in Xlendi.

    We used them as a base for our expedition in 2003 and they were very professional. Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly. Xlendi Bay is an excellent place to learn.

    I usually dive with Calypso and they've always been well organised and friendly. Highly recommend them.
