I did both my Divemaster and Instructor Development Course at Buddies. From my first email Martin made it easy to chose to do both the courses with him. He was able to answer all my questions about the PRO levels and offer me advice on kit and accommodation. Buddies were able to work around my commitments to fit in my... More

We've been diving with Buddies Dive Cove in Bugibba in May 2012 and came up to them with the challenge to reconcile our wishes and needs. We have been 3 adults and 2 teens all on different levels. From one DSD, three OpenWater candidates to one AOWD candidate. Martin and his team were able to give us all the classrooms,... More

I initially had signed up for only a one day introductory to scuba dive, after my first 20 minutes in the water with the greatest instructors and dive master I decided to do the full open water dive certification. One of my best time / memories of my 3 week trip through Europe!!! Not only I gained my open water... More

they are very friendly, flexible, professional and fun. Their dives are packed with information and fun. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. We recommend it to everyone and have introduced family and friends to diving via Buddies. Great for experienced and new divers

The staff are allways bubbly and friendly, diving isn't all about being in the water, 80% of the time is personal interaction with the group. We were made to feel very welcome and had a great time in and out of the water. Buddies make diving what it shoud be - FUN.

We had never been to Malta before, and decided not to pre-book any diving. Having dropped in on several dive operators we were immediately drawn to Buddies due to their genuinally friendly and relaxed attitude. in total we had 10 dives under the supervision and instruction of Joolz (one of Buddies diving instructors), during which we completed our advanced open...
