So we looked around and found Buddies,the best price we could find in malta and top service, they make sure you know everything and are completely ready before taking you in to the open water. Well experienced staff (Dora)... More

I booked with Buddies before travelling to Malta, asking to do more sedate dives so I could get used to some new kit. The team couldn't have been more accomodating and were helpful right from the initial email right through to after the diving was done. I was half expecting to be doing dives within a mile or two of... More

The guys look after you and are always totally helpful. You even get a guided tour when travelling to dive sites. As I said... More

Buddies Dive Cove were absolutely fantastic. We chose them to undertake our Open Water Referral Course whilst in Malta, based on their great reviews and we had a wonderful experience. The online reviews we read were very positive and now having experienced them first hand, we couldn't have been happier. All of the staff were very friendly and very helpful,... More

I have just completed and passed my IDC with Martin and his crew at Buddies. He pushes you hard but he aspires for you to get top marks, not just passing. I was already a BSAC Instructor and the cross over for me was quite daunting, yet with the right attitude, Martin, Jordan and Reinhard will get you through. Needless... More
