Hiking in Malta Malta is a beautiful country to do hiking and trekking along the coast, thanks to "Divers Code" I visited some wonderful places. Alone I couldn't have visited some areas. The routes are different and immersed in wild nature, countryside, wild flora, history and archaeological sites, with breathtaking landscapes... The guide was very prepared, professional, friendly and helpful. It was a fantastic experience.
If you want to know Malta in a different way, surrounded by nature, I recommend the Hiking tours with "Divers Code!".read moreread lessErikawe 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.read moreread less - Laura
PADI freediver course Did the freediver course. The instructor, Andrea, is friendly and welcoming. The training is professional, as he has years of experience that he is happy to share. He travelled the world and keeps updated on new techniques and specialisations so you can rely on him to be an excellent instructor! Thanks Andrea.read moreread lessEvaWe had a very good snorkeling experience! Andrea was very helpful and took his time explaining everything.
We went on the snorkeling safari on the north of Malta. Made a few stops at very beautiful places along the route.
Andrea took his time to tell a lot about the island and the stops we made.
It was the best experience we could have asked for!read moreread lessAndreaNotav
Esperienza bellissima.. Assolutamente da provare. Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo trascorso una giornata all'insegna dello snorkeling a malta, insieme a Giovanni un'ottima guida ed istruttore di snorkeling. Ci ha prima fornito le informazioni sulle attrezzature e poi portato a fare immersioni in posti fantastici lontani dal caos turistico.
Lo consiglio per la bravura e per la passione con cui fa questo lavoro.
Ottimi anche i consigli sui siti da visitare e i ristoranti dove mangiare per il poter proseguire al meglio la vacanza.
La mia ragazza aveva paura delle acque alte ma grazie a Giovanni e i suoi consigli ora si fida e nuota praticamente ovunque.
Grandi ragazzi..
Divers code top!!read moreread lessCarsten
Hol Luft und tauch mit ab. Ein Tag der unvergesslich bleibt. Dank dem guten Wetter, der ruhigen See und unserem sehr erfahrenen Tauchguide Giovanni, wird dieser Tag uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben. Auch dank der tollen Fotos die wir während unseres Tauchganges knipsen konnten.
Danke 🙂 und gerne wieder.read moreread lessGeorgiaI loved this experience so much! I'm so happy I got to see Malta through this lense with Andrea as my guide because he made me feel safe and comfortable.

Thank you so much Andrea!read moreread less - ManuelWas an awesome Day with those Guys, we had some great Views and all of our 10-Person Group would do it again! Snorkeling was just beautiful....

He cares about your well- being, making sure you are hydrated during the hike and your safety. He kept communicating for directions to the meeting place and made sure we took the right buses before and after. He gave a lot of information including places and local restaurants to go to!

5 star snorkelling experience Myself and my parter booked two days snorkelling with Diver’s Code and had the most amazing time. The booking process was smooth and well organised and the team were really helpful.
Pepo, our guide, picked us up from our hotel for our first day snorkelling in Gozo and was really welcoming and professional.
On the way to the snorkel site, Pepo pointed out important landmarks and told us about the history of the area, and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
We had our own snorkels, masks, and fins, and Pepo had asked in advance for our sizes so he could have wetsuits ready for us. He bought two sizes along so, when the larger size didn’t quite fit, he suggested I try the other one which did. He was keen for us to be as comfortable as possible in the water and his forward planning meant all our equipment was perfect.
But, feeling comfortable isn’t just about what you wear and Pepo gave us a detailed briefing before getting in the water, putting us totally at ease. He told us about how to wear our masks so they were less likely to leak; how to stop them fogging; and how to clear your mask if a bit of water did get in. He demonstrated everything, and this knowledge made for a much more enjoyable snorkel as we knew all the tips and tricks in advance. He also showed us pictures of fish we could expect to see, so we would know in advance what to look out for, and told us about the area we would be snorkelling in.
I was really very nervous before we started about sharks and jellyfish, but after 5 mins talking to Pepo I wasn’t worried at all. He put me completely at my ease. When we did see a jellyfish, I didn’t worry as Pepo had told us about their behaviour and pointed out it was very unlikely we would see anything harmful.
Pepo tailored the trip to our abilities and let us set the pace.
An added bonus was Pepo’s amazing freediving skills. He often went under the water to point out things that were trickier to see, or to bring up interesting shells for a closer look.
What I thought was particularly good was the buoy Pepo carried with him. This meant that we were always safe and visible in the water, and could have held on if we needed a rest. It really came in useful when my mask slipped a bit and I could hold on to sort it out (he also keeps a spare of everything in the buoy in case anything goes wrong mid-snorkel).
Between the two snorkel sites Pepo took us to a brilliant bakery on Gozo, and showed us some Roman salt pans too. It was more than just a snorkel experience as we also got to try typical local food, and find out about more about the islands and their history.
We were so pleased we booked a second day. On that day the weather wasn’t great (it was quite windy) and we were a little concerned the trip would’t go ahead. However, Pepo knows Malta incredibly well and took us to areas that were very sheltered and you couldn’t tell it was windy. He also tailored the day so we had a longer snorkel on the morning, in case the wind picked up in the afternoon.
We felt that this was an amazing team that went above and beyond to ensure we were happy, and felt confident and safe. Everything they did was to make sure we were happy and having a good time. Malta snorkelling is beautiful and Pepo knows the islands incredibly well and really shared his passion and enthusiasm. We would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of booking with Divers’ Code.
Very Fun, very safe, knowledgeable guide, amazing experience. We know we’ll be back before too long.read moreread less - michaelamcdaid
Do it! Excellent! I was trying to pack too much into one week in Malta (because it's that kind of place!) and didn't contact Divers Code until the night before I wanted to go snorkelling, here was response waiting for me in the morning. I wasn't able to join the safari that had already been booked, but communication was excellent and Pepo accommodated me as a single traveller for a couple of hours in Buggiba.
Safe, professional, knowledgeable and great craic ('fun' - I'm Irish!)
The only thing I would do differently would be to prioritise a full days snorkelling safari over anything else.
Highly recommended
Thank you!read moreread lessCBinarystar
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!!read moreread less - Giovanni
Un assaggio di estate Ad inizio maggio mi sono concesso un weekend di relax a Malta, fuori stagione per evitare la calca estiva. Il clima era magnifico ma l'acqua ancora un po' fredda, ma non volevo farmi mancare la possibilità di fare un tuffo in mare con maschera e boccaglio. Ho contattato Divers Code ed è stata un'ottima idea.
Sono venuti a prendermi all'hotel con il loro furgone, abbiamo fatto un briefing al loro shop dove mi sono munito di maschera, pinne e soprattutto e per fortuna anche di una muta. Con me c'erano Andrea, il titolare, e altri due clienti, due simpaticissimi piloti dal Belgio. Abbiamo fatto un tuffo alla Popeyes Bay. Aqua fredda, ma stupenda e non c'era nessuno, solo noi e altri 3 sub. Andrea è un istruttore sub di grande esperienza, con lui mi sono divertito molto e mi sono sentito ben accudito, anche durante la pausa birra dopo la fine dell'escursione. Evviva!read moreread lesslizkenny34
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!!!read moreread less - Jackie
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.read moreread lessAchim
Schnorchel Safari Der Trip mit unserem italienischen Guide war wirklich ein Erlebnis. Nachdem wir einen Tag zuvor angerufen haben, wurde die Tour absolut inividuel für uns angepasst am folgenden Tag durchgeführt.
Das Tolle daran war, dass die Gruppen (max 6 Personen) sehr klein sind und der Guide sich wirklich persönlich um jeden einzelnen kümmern kann.
Für die Einführung ins Schnorcheln ließ er sich genügend Zeit, um auch Beginnern ein gutes Gefühl für den Start zu geben.
Nachdem wir eine Tour gemeinsam festgelegt haben, hat uns der Guide nicht nur zu sehr entlegenen Stellen gebracht - wir haben nebenbei auch noch eine kleine touristische Führung durch Malta bekommen. Das hat wirklich Spaß gemacht.
Neben dem Schnorcheln an wirklich tollen Orten blieb immer genügend Zeit für Pausen und zum Verschnaufen. Eine Tour, die wir hier jederzeit wieder mit Freude buchen würden.
Auch die Abholung und der Rücktransport direkt vors Hotel funktionierte absolut perfekt.
Ein tolles Team !read moreread lessJoeI had a great run with Pepo. I was the only person who had signed up (perhaps because it was the low season for tourism), so I had plenty of opportunity to ask questions. I had just arrived in Valletta the evening before and I needed to get a run in, so I went on Pepo’s tour to get both done at once. Pepo’s a great guide—he knows a lot about Valletta’s and Malta’s history and he also gives great restaurant recommendations! He’s a warm and outgoing host—we had a fun time. The route takes you out along the perimeter of Valletta—some spots I definitely wouldn’t have figured out myself and with some great views. I recommend signing up!read moreread less - Marie
Anchors Bay Snorkelling Fabulous experience from start to end. Personal service with small group.

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.

Andrea has been diving and lived all over the world and really understands what to look for and the best spots on the island for snorkelling where you can see a good array of sea life.
Also a great experience for beginners and pros alike - he is happy to help those who may not have any experience snorkelling, yet can provide advice to those who may want more of a challenge.read moreread less - Laura5 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 Safariread moreread lessJeroenWe had a great time at Divers Code!

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.read moreread lessJenniferDivers Code is a diving school specialized in snorkeling. We had a great experience! Our guide Pepo was very friendly and made sure we got the right equipment and every information we need. He drove us to a beautiful bay that wasn't crowded and had calm conditions, perfect for snorkeling.
We fully recommend Divers Code and would go on a snorkeling Safari with them anytime again (German travelers)read moreread less - LouisaWe 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!read moreread lessNishanAn absolutely awesome experience that I would very highly recommend to anyone. Both Adele and I were nervous but Andrea made us feel very comfortable and during the entire experience his level of oversight helped us gain confidence. One of the best things we've done in Malta for sure. If you see looking to start snorkeling absolutely go for this. We are even considering scuba now!read moreread lessVitoria
Couldn't recommend more! My partner and I did the introduction to free diving half day course with Andrea at divers code, and it was the best thing we did in Malta! My partner is nervous in the sea and Andrea and the other man (I can't remember his name!) made such an effort to prepare him and make him feel safe. The briefing bit of the course was interesting and gave us new and valuable knowledge, and the practical was fun and a good level of challenge. We also booked really last minute but they were able to slot us in, and it was just the two of us with our instructor.
We plan to go back to Malta to do another course with them in the future.
Thank you Divers Code!read moreread less
