Learn Freediving in Malta and Gozo - Freediver Course picture 2

Discover some of the Mediterranean’s most exciting underwater sites with our guided freediving expeditions in Malta and Gozo.

Explore dramatic underwater caves, historic shipwrecks, reefs, arches, and swim-through tunnels with experienced local freediving instructors who know every dive site across the Maltese archipelago.

Our shore-based freediving expeditions are designed for certified freedivers who want a safe, well-organized and fun-filled underwater adventure.

Whether wreck diving is on your bucket list or you prefer exploring caves and underwater formations, our instructors will tailor the experience to your level and interests.


Who can join our Freediving Expeditions ?

Our expeditions are ideal for ocean lovers, underwater explorers and adventurous divers who want to discover the incredible dive sites of Malta and Gozo.

Thanks to the diversity of the Maltese Islands, both beginner and advanced certified freedivers can enjoy spectacular underwater landscapes, including shipwrecks, caves and caverns, arches and swim-through, reefs and walls, drop-offs and cliffs, and rich Mediterranean marine life.

Beginners benefit from shallow, easy-entry dive sites with clear visibility and abundant marine life which offer safe, and scenic environments. Advanced divers can explore complex underwater features and intricate swim-throughs providing technical challenges and thrilling exploration opportunities.

Our shore-based freediving expeditions are for certified freedivers only (freediving certification qualifying for open water dives beyond 10m at least). This underwater activity is not suitable for snorkelers and skin divers.


What will you see on our Guided Freediving Expeditions ?

On every guided freediving expedition in Malta or Gozo, you will dive into crystal-clear Mediterranean waters with visibility regularly reaching 25–40 meters, exploring extraordinary underwater landscapes that make Malta one of Europe's top freediving destinations.

Malta is renowned for its incredible collection of shipwrecks, some intentionally sunk as artificial reefs, others sunk during WW2. From large tankers, old ferries or big tugboats to S-class submarine, bomber aircraft, destroyers or minesweepers, Malta has it all. And these wrecks are not just historical sites, they are also vibrant underwater ecosystems.

If you prefer cave exploration over wreck diving, Gozo and Malta offer stunning coastal caves, natural arches, swim-through tunnels, and dramatic drop-offs.

Every dive is a distinct adventure that combine breathtaking scenery with professional guidance to elevate your skills and create unforgettable underwater experience.

How are our Freediving Expeditions ?

A freediving adventure led by an experienced freediving instructor who knows every nook and cranny can only turn out as a fantastic freediving experience.

Our guided freediving expeditions are:

  • Led by expert local instructors with deep knowledge of Malta and Gozo
  • Safe, immersive 2-hour dives
  • Tailored to the certified freedivers' level and experience
  • Focused on maximizing water time and immersion in the raw natural beauty of the Mediterranean

We ensure a safe, engaging, and memorable experience for every freediver and capture every instant on camera so you forever remember your freediving expedition in this Mediterranean paradise.

Arturo The Man! Incredible last minute organisation of an Advanced Freediver Course for me after my planned school had to cancel last minute. With a few key tips and new pointers I was able to absolutely smash my expectations of what I was capable of before the course. Seems to have great intuition for when to encourage students to push limits and when to slow things down a bit, all with safety as the key priority. Had some equalisation issues on one of my deep diving days so Arturo was patient, kind but firm that it wasn’t the day to push it and bent over backwards to rearrange for another day on my short trip and make sure I could complete my course before leaving Malta. Can’t recommend his coaching enough. Apnea Total also an interesting different association to try out if you have previous experience with a different one (I crossed over from AIDA 2)

I took the Discover Spearfishing course, and it was a fantastic day. Both the theory and practical sessions are well-structured, and Arturo is truly an expert. Highly recommended.

Great experience overall. Went spearfishing for 2 days in a row and I got tons of useful tips on how to approach fish, how to handle the gun etc. Mediterranean is no joke so really need to be on point with the technique. Saw some cool spots as well! Thanks!

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

I came for the free diving discovery day and then extended it to the full course because I liked it so much and felt so well taken care of. Reggie is a superb instructor, both in theory as in practical sessions. Absolutely professional and safe at every step. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn freediving!

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!
