Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Malta is a sun-drenched island paradise where ancient history, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture collide.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Malta is a perfect destination in every season. Whether you're escaping the cold winter months or looking for a summer retreat, you'll find warm weather, breathtaking  views, and an inviting island lifestyle waiting for you.

Malta isn't just a place you visit—it's a place you feel. Whether you're drawn by golden beaches, fascinating architecture, or mouthwatering cuisine, Malta offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation that leaves every traveler enchanted.

Every corner of Malta tells a story—from prehistoric temples to lively village festas. Imagine wandering through Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site bursting with baroque beauty, or swimming into the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon in Comino. Feel the echoes of the past in the silent city of Mdina, and soak up the sun on Golden Bay's or Ghadira's sandy shores, or simply sip local wine as the sun sets over a harbor lined with colorful boats.

Malta is the ultimate travel destination whether you're a culture lover, beachgoer, or foodie.

For us, Malta's underwater is the Mediterranean’s best-kept secret. You can experience the sea in so many different ways and have a splashing good time: dive into one of the world's top diving spots, explore hidden coves by kayak or SUP, surf or swim.  Whether you go on a sea adventure or have some seaside fun, Malta makes every moment unforgettable.

이집트에서 아이다2따고 처음하는 프리다이빙이어서 조금 긴장된 상태로 펀다이빙을 나갔는데 Reggie강사님의 긍정적이고 밝은 에너지 덕분에 금방 긴장이 풀릴수 있었습니다. 제 컨디션과 실력에 맞추어 다이빙 깊이나 코스(동굴 통과 등)를 그때그때 바꿔주셔서 더욱 재밌게 다이빙을 즐길 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 물 밖으로 나왔을때 걷기도 힘들 정도로 지쳤지만 얼굴은 웃는 얼굴로 나왔습니다. 몰타 프리다이빙 찾고계시면 강력하게 추천드립니다

Wir hatten nur einen Tag Zeit und haben uns deshalb für den Discover Course entschieden. Rückblickend die richtige Entscheidung: Der Vormittag bestand aus Theorie und Einweisung, sodass wir die Grundlagen und die Sicherheitsaspekte verstanden hatten, bevor es überhaupt ins Wasser ging. Am Nachmittag folgte die Praxiseinheit in herrlich blauem, klarem Wasser, und wir konnten das Gelernte tatsächlich umgehend und erfolgreich umsetzen. Dazu trägt vor allem Arturo bei. Mit seiner persönlichen und zugleich professionellen Art motiviert er, nimmt sich Zeit und vermittelt ein Gefühl von Sicherheit und Vertrauen, das bei diesem Vorhaben viel wert ist. Dazu kommt seine lockere, humorvolle Seite, die einem die Anspannung nimmt und dafür sorgt, dass man mit Spaß bei der Sache bleibt. Da die Gruppe klein bleibt, kann er auf jeden Einzelnen individuell eingehen, und wer Spanisch spricht, merkt schnell, wie sehr er sich freut, auch mal auf Spanisch zu erklären. Für alle mit knappem Zeitbudget, die Freediving ernsthaft ausprobieren wollen: klare Empfehlung. Wir bleiben auf jeden Fall dran und kommen dafür gerne noch einmal nach Gozo zu Apnea Total Malta, so gut hat es uns gefallen.

I had an amazing time doing the introductory spearfishing course and freediving coaching sessions. Safety was the first priority which felt very nice, especially with the spearfishing. I found Arturo’s method of teaching very encouraging and I was able to really improve my technique while having a lot of fun!

I took the freediving course at Apnea Total in Gozo, and it was an excellent experience! Arturo, my instructor, shared a lot of knowledge and made me feel very safe in the water. On every dive, he went down with me to the bottom and came back up with me, correcting my technique and giving me new tips for the next dive. I had always wanted to try freediving, but I needed a safe place to do it, and Apnea Total gave me exactly that. Thank you so much, Arturo and the whole Apnea Total Gozo team!

I had a fantastic 3 days of freediving and spearfishing with Arturo at Apnea Total Gozo. This was my first time trying both, and I had absolutely no prior experience. Arturo is an outstanding teacher, and his passion for the water is infectious. He has a real talent for making the theory interesting and, more importantly, showing you how to apply it in the water. The dry practice and exercises really pay dividends when you’re in the water just an hour later. Spending time in the water with Arturo was an absolute blast, and it was amazing to see how much you can achieve in just a few days, even starting from scratch. Thank you, Arturo, for a great experience and a great time. I hope to be back in Gozo soon!

I had such a great time with my instructor Reggie! She made me feel very safe in the water, after me not having dove in 3 years. We had a really good conversation on relaxation , and practiced my technique again. It was a fantastic experience being in the blue water, freediving with amazing support. Thank you to the team for making it a great experience , really professional and I learnt so much from Reggie about the sport and her journey as well freediving ❤️ thank you!!! I will be back soon

100% recommended! I arrived with zero diving experience and am leaving with a new passion. I was lucky enough to have Arturo as our instructor, and that played a huge part in what I’ve taken away from the course! He’s very friendly and approachable, but also very attentive, and he made sure throughout the course that we got the very best out of it. It’s definitely an activity that, if you’ve never tried it before, will change the way you view your holidays. I’d definitely do it again – I’m already thinking about my next trip to Malta so I can do a more advanced course with Arturo.
