Irresponsible and dangerous dive center.
Un-replaced filters in the compressor, sailing without a commercial license and thus taking customers at sea without insurance, as well as sending skippers out with... read more customers, who do not have the necessary papers to operate a commercial vessel. No wonder 2 out of 4 Divemasters in training leave such an unprofessional center. Although this could also be due to the way the staff is treated. Whistling to staff with just the use of the word 'Tanks!' to indicate that the cylinders need to be refilled. Allow the instructors so few days off that they are exhausted and can no longer guarantee the safety of the customers. The truth about GoDive Malta, the insight of an ex divemaster in training who saw how things really work. The only positive I can give them is that their customer service is generally well taken care of, their instructors and validity of papers not. All fine, until accidents happen, the explanation given to transport Malta goes like this; this just a boat with a group of friends going diving, nothing commercial. I was also asked to give this explanation if there was control. But it is a commercial vessel and so, if an accident happens, no one is insured. and getting help at sea will also be difficult without VHF on board. when I decided to leave Godive Malta after being insulted by the owner as an 'african merchant' which I think is a rather inappropriate comment in this day and age. I also decided to leave the free accommodation for staff. after this I got a lot of inappropriate voice messages telling me that I had to give him money because I left the free flat. I was told that I had to give him money because I decided to leave free lodging. I quote literally from his voice messages 'if you don't pay, I have to do something.' The contract stated 0 euros rent, it also stated that if a tenant terminates the rent without 1 month's notice, he must pay 50% of the rent to the landlord. After i told him i will give him 50% of 0 euro I got the voice message; 'Yes okay give me half of 0, but then give me 100 euro deposit and i will decide when i have to give you back your f***** deposit, friend Hey! you want to do that? let's do that! Baby, you are going to lose baby, you are going to lose! because I know exactly what to do!' (end quote). These are my own experiences with godive Malta, and these are the still manageable stories, a day after my departure the entire team had to end a dive because they felt sick in the water, and guess what, the air filter in the compressor was apparently not replaced, 1 of the team members even had to go to the hospital for a check-up. and as far as I've heard they also had a client last week who was allowed to make a hospital visit for DCI symptoms, although I can't confirm this personally as I wasn't there. What I can confirm is that they won't be of much help with the 100% oxygen, at least not the kit we used during our divemaster training, as it didn't work. After my departure from the center, the new dive center where I was going to work got a nice personal message from Marco telling all the bad things about me, lies that I would be disrespectful and foul mouthed and so on, luckily these people knew better and could make their own judgment, here I was able to finish my training brilliantly and without any problems. but I was not the only one who was harassed after departure by Marco, he also sent an email about the other Divemaster in training to every dive center in Malta telling them not to hire this person, the email contained all made up lies about her, too bad, because this was a very nice girl who could have been a very good divemaster. Customer oriented I can't say much bad about this center, but in terms of treating staff and being in order with safety provisions and correct papers, there is still a lot of work to be done, and until this defect is addressed, I do not recommend this center to anyone. This review is based on my experiences with Godive, in the period May to July 2022, I have no idea how things are going now.

  I have just finished a few days diving with these people
From start to finish each dive was explained and a fairly complete general safety brief was also given.... read more /> This was my 6th time of diving with them and I will be back next year, Covid willing, to dive with them again.
Whilst both Marco, Valentina and little Ocean were fantastic, the star of the team, for me, was Sarah. Her confidence and general attitude were fantastic and she helped me enjoy my diving tremendously.
See you all next year.

  A fantastic dive whit those friends i want recomended this dive center if you want have good diving in Malta

From Eddie 🙂

  The team at Go Dive were really fun and looked after us throughout the dive. I hadn’t dived for a year so it was great to feel confident that I... read more was in professional hands. The water was great, suitable for shorty diving and good visibility. Have left a recommendation in the villa we stayed at for the next guests and hope to dive with these guys again when we next visit Malta. Thanks Go Dive

  Marko and vale were fantastic start to finish. My partner (a padi diver) and i (basic DSD) arranged to dive with GoDive.
We went on the scheduled day but... read more unfortunately due to wind conditions we were told it wasn’t safe to go Ahead with the dive. Marko and Vale were great though and explained it fully, prepared our kit for the dive and completed the paperwork with us. They gave us recommendations of places to visit while on holiday and rescheduled for a couple of days later.
On the day of our dive we went to Anchor Bay with Marko. Marko was brilliant and took the time to explain everything and make sure we were both comfortable. Marko pointed out loads of sea life to us and had a very keen eye for an octopus hiding within the rock face which was amazing to see.
It was a great experience and we would happily dive with them again!

  We booked a dive few days before our arrival. Valentina answered all our queries and cleared all our doubts. Everything was organized, professional and friendly. Michelle , valentina and marco... read more they were all friendly and made us comfortable on our first dive experience . Michelle was our trainer couldn't ask for anyone better he made our first dive so easy and we really enjoyed it. Thankyou for an amazing experience!! We would love to go for a dive with you again.

  Very personal approach. Experienced, enthousiasic team. They breath the diving spirit . Lot of nice diving locations

  When to dive with Go Dive you become part of the family for a few days. Really homely, friendly and welcoming. I did my open Water course here with Sarah... read more and had an amazing few days and booked a couple more dives to finish off the week. I wouldn’t advise listening to Sarah’s advice on parking but her dive instructing was excellent. Only my second time diving and I will never forget this place and the staff. If you’re going to Malta then this is where you wanna learn to dive. The Gozo Trip anf the Open Sea are a must. You are in safe and experienced hands.

  Dive wasn't the most amazing ever, as I was diving with open waters (my own decision ) with no experience, but they were taking care of my girlfriend (just got... read more her OW) to make her feel totally comfortable. Instructors, divemasters, and attention on divecenter as well was totally super.
