SCUBA in Malta
I go to Malta nearly every year. I like the freedom to do whatever you want, within reason, when diving. The sea is always warm (compared to England) and the visibility usually exceptional. The Maltese Government actively promotes diving as a tourist attraction. There are new wrecks appearing all the time. The sealife is as good as anywhere in the Med. The underwater topography is simply stunning. The dives can be as deep or as shallow as your experience allows. There is a hyperbaric facility on the island. There are dozens of dive schools and I don't know if I'm allowed to reccomend any on this site. You don't need to take anything as everything is available to hire. However I like to use my own equipment, renting only lead and tanks. The airlines are getting much more accomodating about weght allowances for sports gear.
