Fantastic free diving / snorkeling In Malta you can be spoilt for choice with 3 main diving options.
1. There are boats traveling all over advertising snorkelling, but if you want to snorkel these trips are not good, no advice or help. The locations are generally unsuitable for snorkelling.
2. There are plenty of dive centres but these are built around scuba not free diving or snorkelling.
But there is however one place (divers code) which caters for only of snorkelling / free diving. Also thrown in depending what you want / book is a trip to local sites of interest. The guy that took me out, Marcus was very good. he is an experienced free diver / scuba diver. I could not recommend it enough. I had a great time. He caters for learners and experienced free divers. You will be taken to the best locations and if the tide / wind is not right he will simply take you somewhere else that is right.
Marcus also filmed myself and the others free diving efforts which he then gave us all a copy of.
Wish I was in Malta longer because a 3 day free diving course was available, which next time I will be doing.
Prices are good, more than a boat trip (200+ ppl) but you get what you pay for. Marcus only takes 4-5 ppl max.

Running with Pepo was great. He took good care of us and kept the group together well. The pace was just right. He had so much local information and stories of the people and history of Malta. He took us along tracks and routes which I could never have done on my own. He even suggested other things to do for the rest of the holiday. Absolutely great, thank you.

Loved the snorkeling safari and Skin diving sessions!!Staffs are very experienced and friendly!!Snorkeling sites they brought were amazing!!Free from bunch of tourists so we could fully enjoy!Thank you!!

We had a great excursion with Andrea! He was very knowledgeable about the area. He was also great at pointing out creatures that we may have missed on our own. It was very cold, but we were able to rent wet suits, which helped quite a bit. Many in our group had never snorkeled before, but they did great under Andrea’s instruction. This was a great experience!

Great experience. Andrea took really good care of each of us as well as picking up trash in the ocean.

Best Freediving training and snorkelling around Easy outgoing instructors and great service. Excellent couple of days spend in sea would do it again. Would highly recommend to all.

I had an amazing time traveling around the island learning about the history and the geology which makes up the islands coast and caves. The weather & water was clear and warm which made it perfect for viewing the sights. This is a great activity to just relax and swim around looking at fishes and other marine life.
Andrea was an amazing guide and I could not have had a better day.
100% would go again.

Snorkel safari We were on a family holiday in Malta an looking for chance to visit some more of the island and also take part in a water based activity. The snorkel safari was the the perfect choice. We were picked up from our hotel in Valetta and driven to the shop for a short briefing. Our guide Pepo explained everything really well and we felt like the whole day was tailored to our needs. We discovered some parts of the island that we would never have found if we had not booked with Diver’s Code. The level of snorkelling felt just right for our ability and I am sure that Pepo would have altered the program for the day if we had been any more or less capable at the snorkelling.
I would thoroughly recommend Diver’s Code to anyone looking for a day out with a guide who can show you some interesting parts of the island and and some great snorkelling as well. The group sizes are apparently never more than 6 people and usually 4 so this feels like a private tour for a family of 4. We found it to be excellent value compared to some other jeep safaris offered by other companies (who could not offer the snorkelling).

Andrea was a thoughtful and courteous host. He made every effort to make my wife and I feel safe and enjoy the experience. Cool little experience seeing what Malta has to offer and also the in depth knowledge he has on the Mediterranean in general.

Andrea is a really friendly and knowledgeable host and me and my fiancé had good experience but having had this experience we felt we could had done this ourselves. Andrea did bring a level of knowledge about sea creatures that we otherwise would not have had and we thank him for this

Awesome first experience in snorkeling On 14th of April we decided to try snorkeling in Malta, it was totally unplanned and it was awesome even i cold water. Andrea was so careful and professional instructor, explained everything so clear about equipment and fishes and other sea creatures. He took us to Mistra bay, there were no groups of tourists only local people. Wow, you know first time of my life i saw a sea cucumber 🙂 it`s so funny.
No doubt, If you decide to go snorkeling I recommend you Andrea, he is super!

Merci pour cette expérience ! Nous y sommes allés, mon conjoint et moi même, nous avons adoré ! Andréa nous a tout de suite mis à l'aise car nous ne connaissions rien à cette activité. A l'écoute durant toute l'expérience, je n'ai eu peur que les premières minutes !
Merci encore !

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My 2 children (aged 7 and 11) and I visited Malta at peak season in August. We wanted the opportunity to explore the island without feeling like we were constantly competing with a thousand other tourists. I am so grateful for Divers Code! The service they provide is incredible and bespoke. We booked a full day and emailed back and forth before we arrived on the type of experience we were looking for. Their communication is brilliant - extremely prompt replies if you email them! They provided a unique snorkeling experience suitable for not only my more cautious 7 year old but also my more adventurous 11 year old as well as taking us around the island pointing out some of the countries landmarks. The whole tour was amazing! Divers Code took us to locations known by locals so we weren't surrounded by lots of tourists. It was bliss! I felt like we had a private guided tour! It was worth every penny and definitely the highlight of the whole holiday. Huge thanks Pepo!!!

I can’t find any other worthy measure to have fun, snorkeling with a quite patient person

Very nice experience! Definitely worth it !

The perfect start to our holiday Book divers code early!
We were lucky enough to book a day with Andrea on the 2nd day of our trip. This really set up for the rest of the week as he was able to give us tips on the best locations on the following days.
The day itself was amazing. We saw things that we would have just swam straight past if Andrea had not been there to point out. Andrea is a superb guide whether you are a first time diver or have years of experience.
Being in a smaller group really personalised the experience and we were able to enjoy the day at our own pace.

Giornata bellissima...complimenti allo staff di Divers Code, Marco, Monica e Clayton, fantastici!!!!

Esperienza che interseca sport, natura, cultura e divertimento! Un grazie speciale a Giovanni, che ha reso indimenticabile il nostro viaggio!

This experience is great for beginners who have none to some knowledge of snorkeling. Andrea was very attentive and caring, multiple times asking us if everything was alright, also comforting us along the way. He gave us a lengthy introduction before the activity. Overall, it was a lovely experience, made our trip even more special.

Introduction to diving We three adults spend the weekend together with Andrea and Giovanni to try out snorkeling. It was a great experience with instructions and guiding very much adjusted to our individual needs and wishes. We can only recommend Divers Code.

Great experience – Andrea was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I loved getting a view of the world underneath the waves.

Friendly and familiar It was very nice. We booked one snorkeling trip. The guid was very friendly and he showed us some other places to visit in malta. so we got more than we excpected.

We went snorkelling here for about 2 hours and loved every minute. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us (amateur swimmers), making the experience so enjoyable. Amazing service and very friendly throughout. Thank you!

Great snorkelling experience in Malta We really enjoyed this snorkelling day in Malta with the very professionnal, knowledgeable and fun team of Divers Code!
Indeed Andrea and Giovanni really focus on making the experience very enjoyable and customizing it to their groups' wishes and abilities. They do it so well because they are passionate about the Sea and the sport.
They are just GREAT and we really recommend them!!!

I highly recommend this trip, the guide was not only helpful in making sure we had all of the appropriate equipment, but also made sure to explain the hazards involved with snorkeling and the wildlife you may encounter in the waters. He also gave us some history about Malta while traveling to a couple of the interesting locations on the island. It was a wonderful trip and if I could go back, id choose the full day option and experience this longer.

This experience was amazing! Andrea was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the things we saw while snorkelling and we were lucky enough to see a lot while doing it. It was a great experience and I would recommend it highly.

Had the best experience ever. Pepo was really friendly and cooperative. We were four in group and pepo got his eyes on everyone. He takes extra precautions that makes the 1st timers more comfortable and snorkeling ezpz.

Awesome day out Me and my Mrs got the chance to have one of the best snorkelling/guided tours around Malta.
The owner and main tour guide was a great source of local knowledge and was more then happy to explain things on the go and in great detail.
We'll be back in Malta again next year and Divers Code will definitely be the first place we visit.

Great Excursion! We had a great time on this half day excursion! They picked us up at the pier where our cruise ship was docked. We stopped by a few scenic overlooks on the way including the blue grotto. Then we went snorkeling for about an hour or so. We saw a lot of cool things and Andrea, our snorkeling guide, was very knowledgable about the land, the culture, and of course the sea life. The company provided wet suits, flippers, and snorkel gear, but we brought our own. They dropped us off in Valetta and recommended a few paths to go and some restaurants. We highly recommend this excursion! For a reasonable price you can have a really unique experience! Enjoy!

This was the perfect way to explore Valletta in just one morning ☀️

Divers code is the best snorkeling in Malta!! Me and my 2 girls friends had an amazing time! Giovanni and Pepo are the best guides, so sweet and Knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Snorkling with kids. Fantastic experience! My familiy had a great time snorkling. Albeit we were at a newbeginners place, we saw plenty of fish! Thanks to the experienced and calm instructor I overcame my fear of breathing under water. It was perfect for the whole family. This is for everyone - they adjust to your level of experience. Hence, you will enjoy it wether you are newbeginner or ecperienced.

Highly recommend this experience with Andrea. It has been the highlight of my time in Malta.
Andrea is very experienced and was superb when leading the snorkelling. Knowledgable and friendly. Andrea also provided great equipment to use.
Wonderful experience 🙂 and exceptional value for money.

Great snorkeling trip with kids Andrea and Giovani did a great job showing us some out of the way sites and photo ops on the land tour. Then the snorkeling was fun and one was happy to stay in the shallow water with the younger kids.

Wonderfully inclusive and insightful

World Class Absolutely, one of the best diving companies on the planet. The waters around Malta had been choppy for days but Andrea and Giovanni know every little protected bay around the island. They brought us to flat calm water that was scenic and memorable. Giovanni’s knowledge of Malta as well as its history is second to none, as he provided meaningful insight as he shuttled us from site to site. We were definitely off the beaten tourist path as we moved through the countryside exploring some Malta’s best kept secrets, which included a wonderful local restaurant with amazing food. Highly recommend this company to all levels of snorkeling enthusiasts.

Magia subacquea. Snorkeling esplorando il mare di Malta.
Costante cura ed attenzione in tutto il percorso conoscitivo ed esplorativo, per immergersi, letteralmente, in un'esperienza incredibile.
Consigliatissimo!

Esperienza assolutamente da fare! Abbiamo contattato Andrea il giorno prima per chiedere informazioni e il giorno dopo alla mattina è venuto a prenderci all'hotel per condurci in due località dove fare snorkeling e apnea. Consigliatissimo per chi ama il mare e vuole scoprire i fondali senza l'ausilio delle bombole.

Lovely chap. Well travelled. Patient. Couldn't ask for more. Well worth giving it a go. If you've got your own fins then bring them but if not Andrea will provide hire for €10. Same applies for a wetsuit if it's cold!
Would recommend to friends!

Great experience! Very knowledgeable about snorkeling equipment and places. Andrea was also dedicated with keeping the sea clean. During our dives, I saw Andrea dive down to collect some trash off the floor. Impressive. And also great workout with the legs.

Just so great! There was an introduction about not only the Know-how of the snorkeling but also the possible marine life of the area. During the snorkeling he took really good care of us. Especially for us as beginner, which really bring us a lot of secure feeling and this is the foundation of fun. We saw several different fishes and also one pink jellyfish, but for us, the most beautiful view was the crystal clear sea and the waving dancing sea weeds. 😉

Great snorkeling experience! We went out for 2 snorkeling session in a single day, the first one was easy for beginners and the second one required more experience. The guys were very handsome, they either followed the ones at the first experience with the sea and brought us in really beautiful places! Very friendly, even if you are a beginner or an expert!

The run around Valletta was perfect! I messaged pepo to ask if he could do a day that wasn’t on his availability and he messaged me back straight away saying he has changed the dates on the calendar and that he would be able to do it. We had a great run and I learned a lot about the history of Malta and Valletta. We kept a steady pace and I really recommend this experience to everybody!

We had the most amazing time during our full day snorkeling trip to Gozo! It was definitely the best experience of our vacation in Malta.
Andrea has been super friendly and provided the best experience to each 4 of us, even though we had different levels and expectations for the day. From very beginner to more experienced, Andrea provided tailored aquatic mentoring for each one of us, in addition to selecting the best spots to go according to weather and sea conditions.
As opposed to many diving sites in Malta, Divers Code is really specialized in snorkeling and freediving, so if it's what you want to do I fully recommend them.
I'd definitely go back and try some freediving 🙂
Thanks again Andrea!

we were 6 friends celebrating an healthy hensparty, we choose the half day hiking and it was simply amazing. The 10km pathway along the cliffs, and the Romans salines and ruins was stunning. The guide, Giovanni, was very knowledgeable about the history, the territory, very chatty. He showed us some remote places with few tourist around, which was great! Giovanni makes sure everyone feels comfortable, and is genuinely a nice guy. Would recommend anyone who’s looking to go hiking on Malta, to book a day with Diver’s code.

Night snorkeling in the clear waters of Malta was truly amazing experience.

Loved the snorkeling safari and Skin diving sessions!!
Staffs are very experienced and friendly!!
Snorkeling sites they brought were amazing!!
Free from bunch of tourists so we could fully enjoy!
Thank you!!

Paesaggi stupendi e compagnia eccezionale! Assolutamente da fare.

Snorkeling safari The snorkeling safari with Giovanni was the absolute highlight of our trip! It was very well organized and we saw the coolest and nicest places in (underwater) Malta! We had no snorkeling experience and they really made us feel safe and help us with everything! We were really glad that we signed up for a whole day because it was so worth it!They picked us up from the hotel and brought us back after a great day. Giovanni and Andrea were really amazing! Must do when you are in Malta!

Excellent experience, friendly stuff! We had a really good experiece! It started from a brief instructions about snorkeling and continued in blue water where we had amaizing experience! Suggest for 100%! Thank you Andrea!

Bra upplevelse Trevligt ställe, otroligt smidiga med bookning och tid för snorkling för att inte göra flygresan hem onödigt stressig.
1h snorkling kändes väldigt lagom för vår del, man hinner bli ganska trött/nöjd på den tiden.
i.om att det är utanför stranden så är man kanske lite mer begränsad vad gäller variation av fisk/djurliv, men var flera större fiskstimm, krabbor och andra varelser ändå.
trevligt bemötande och ostressig upplevelse.

I went for a hike with Pepo on the western side of Malta, along the coast near Fomm ir - Rih. This hike is perfect if you like to walk a little more off road and explore, rather than walking a clearly marked path from A-B. The coast on this part of Malta is more wild and untouched than other parts, and I really loved it. Make sure to wear shoes with good grip, besides that Pepo will make sure you feel safe and well taken care. of.

Andrea was a great host and our experience was awesome. Everything was perfect except for the coldness of the water. He was clear and concise with indications. The rented wetsuits and fins fitted well. Overall, besides the water temperature (we went during May) the rest went exactly as expected and we couldnt have had a better instructor.

PADI Freediver I dreamed of getting a freediver certificate.
During the rest in Malta, I decided that it was time to realize my dream.
I really liked the approach of instructor to learning.
All issues were discussed.
If I did not understand something, then Andrea stopped and we discussed this topic until I fully understand.
The same applies to practical lessons.
Despite my superficial knowledge of English (I write this review with the help of google translate), Andrea was able to explain absolutely everything to me and I passed the theoretical test to 100% and also reached 16 fantastic meters of depth.
I recommend this place to everyone.

Great experience! You should definitely try snorkelling while in Malta and Andrea is an amazing instructor, very patient and helpful 🙂 It was truly incredible!

Great day out. . Never to old to go snorkeling and we loved it . Giovanni. Was our instructor .and we was taken along at our pace. Felt in safe hands. And given useful information along the way. .but hey someone said he was tall and handsome? 😆😆😆😆

Great Snorkeling 5 Star experience today with Andrea September 2, 2018
We did the 1/2 day snorkeling safari. He picked me and my husband up from the cruise pier. We arranged everything by email prior to our cruise. He was always prompt in returning my emails and answering my questions. We brought our own full face masks but he supplied our fins and even had wet suits in case water was too cold. Water was a great temperature not too cold. The snorkeling was a great experience we saw several species of fish and a couple of Star fish. Then Andrea drove us around the island explaining Malta’s history and pointing out landmarks. He spoke good English. I highly recommend the Snorkeling Safari

Amazing walk with Pepo in a beautiful natural Park. Pepo introduced me to a very interesting natural and wild area, walking through wonderful landscapes, with the smell of the Mediterranean sea and the wild plants ... He is very prepared, kind and friendly.
I recommend this tour!!!

Geweldige kennismaking met snorkelen Mijn vriendin heeft mij tijdens onze reis overtuigd om te gaan snorkelen. Ik had dit nog niet eerder gedaan, maar heb het mij sindsdien geen moment beklaagd.
Andrea en zijn kompaan kwamen ons oppikken aan ons hotel en namen ons mee op ontdekkingstocht.
We kregen perfect weer om te gaan snorkelen, maar begonnen met een tour over land. We kregen uitleg en kwamen op een paar verborgen parels. Ook de vele vragen die wij ons stelden konden ze ons perfect op beantwoorden.
Tenslotte kwamen we aan Anchor Bay. Hier kreeg ik, die wat meer hulp nodig had, de eerste introductie tot snorkelen.
Een geweldige ervaring met perfecte begeleiding.
Ik zou hen aan iedereen aanraden!!

It was my first experience of snorkeling, Andrea provided clear instructions and a warm welcome. He paid particular attention to everyone outside and inside the water. This experience was also an opportunity to meet people from various countries. Thank you Andrea !
