Discover the Beautiful Waters of Malta, Gozo and Comino with Orangeshark Diving Center
Surrounded by the crystal clear waters and comfortable temperatures of the Mediterranean sea, Orangeshark Diving Centre in Malta is open throughout the year.
Divers from all over the world travel to Malta to experience what our islands have to offer both above and below the waves. If your passion is for wrecks or the abundant and varied sea life on our reefs. Whether you’re a keen diver from the shore or boat. Wherever you are on your diving journey Orangeshark is the destination for you!
On Malta we dive all year round from both our custom dive boat the Paola One and from the numerous shore diving sites many of which are equipped with toilets, showers and opportunities to buy snacks. The water temperature ranges from 15 in the winter up to 29 at the height of the summer resulting in comfortable diving conditions all year.
The seabed around our islands is predominantly made up of rocky reef, white sand and our famous protected seagrass meadows. There is very little tidal activity in Malta and currents are usually weak except on the deeper wreck sites further out. All of this means that we are blessed with having the some of the best visibility in the whole of the Mediterranean regularly up to 40m!
Malta is well known for being a wreck lovers paradise. Many of the wrecks that we have are scuttled for the purpose of diving, training and to create an artificial reef for marine life. These wrecks range in depth from 6 to 45 metres, perfect for recreational divers. Of course for those who are certified there are also many wrecks beyond recreational limits including ships, submarines and planes between 45 and over 100m deep.
For our customers, we aim to include as many varied dives as possible during your trip. If you are advanced or higher, then you will have more opportunities to dive around the majority of our wrecks and the explore inside if you are comfortable. As the most popular wrecks that we dive are scuttled, they are easy to penetrate and plenty of light entering the inside so you can feel comfortable moving around.
Wrecks aren’t all that Malta has going for it. Our islands offer lots of opportunities to explore the caverns, caves and swim-throughs of the numerous reef dives on offer. These reefs can be accessed by all levels of divers.
In and around the wrecks and reefs, a multitude of life can be seen. From lobsters in dark crevices and octopus hiding in the cracks of the rocks, to tuna and barracuda hunting in the open waters.
Although shore diving in Malta is easy and accessible, diving from our own purpose-built diving boat allows us to reach a larger number of dive sites across all three islands. Paola One can fit 16 divers on board and is designed to make diving off the boat as easy and comfortable as possible.
Orangeshark is proud to be the main distributer of SUEX scooters in Malta and it is our aim to introduce this experience to as many of our customers as possible. The DPV allows us to reach dive sites faster and explore a wider area of a site that maybe you couldn’t do just from swimming. They are simple and fun to use and can add something different to your Malta diving trip.
Orangeshark diving centre is based in the town of Mellieha, in the north of Malta close to many of the main diving sites. To ensure you get the most from each dive we keep our group sizes small and grouped based on certification level and interest.
