Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited gozo to do an open water scuba dive course as I heard gozo was a great place to do so. Found this company through a friend that used to live near by. Cannot fault theses guys ones bit. I was having some trouble with the written part of the exam so the owner, Franco sat with me and explained some of the questions to me. Was a massive help. The two instructors I had where absolutely amazing guys as well. Peppi and Jimmy put me at absolute ease in the water and are very patient.
Over all I cannot recommend this place enough. I will 100% be back some day

Fantastic for myself and my son to be back in Gozo diving with Franco and his team. Thirteen years on from when we started diving with Blue Waters and everything still fantastic. A perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness! A very difficult thing to achieve.
See you in 2024!!

We choose the trial dive and Jim was our instructor. His instructions were simple and clear so when were underwater we felt completely secure and had a great time.

I was nervous about getting the Open Water certificate, but the instructor was great and gave me the confidence to really enjoy diving. He was very patient and that gave me space to feel safe in the water which eliminated me being nervous.
Also the guide who took us out on our last day of diving (first two dives after I got the certificate) was too very patient and a great guide.
We felt that we were in good hands and it was some very interesting dives.
Thank you all at Blue Waters Dive Cove for an amazing experience.

Superb dives with Charles, our French-speaking guide and Dawn.
They showed us incredible sites like the "Blue hole", the "Cathedral cave", the wreck of the "MV Karwela", etc.
All in complete safety, with great professionalism and in a good mood.
For sure, we will come back!
Thanks Charles and Dawn!

They were quick to repond to my messages while I was planning my trip, and gave me all the info I needed. They were also the best value of the PADI shops I contacted, but I didn't feel like that was at the expense of any service.
My husband & I wanted to do a refresher course as well as some dives, and they sorted all our learning materials for us with zero hassle. They also have an apartment near the shop that you can rent if it's free.
On the day we turned up, they got us fitted with gear and our instructor (James) took us out for our refresher course on Hondoq Bay. He was ace - super chilled and knowledgeable; it meant my nerves melted away. We did another dive with him (just the 3 of us) in the afternoon at a different site (Raz Il-Hobz) and saw SO much wildlife.
The next day we did a third dive with Charles, who took us (a group of 5) to Cathedral Cave. Despite the tricky entry, it was magical to ascend into the fresh air cave and see the beatiful blue light coming through underwater. We also saw a lot of wildlife throughout the dive.
All in all, everyone was great and very concerned with safety and comfort of divers. We had wanted to do a 4th dive in the afternoon on the second day, but as we were flying the following day, they declined to make sure we had ample time and weren't on the cusp of the minumum recommended. Oh, and they both picked us up from our accomodation as well as dropped us off at the ferry after our dives.
When we go back to Malta, we'll definitely be using them again!

I booked 2 days of diving, 4 total dives. My guide was Dawn who was amazing. She was very professional and constantly making sure everyone was safe and comfortable. Equipment was in good condition and they provide hotel pickup. The blue hole was fantastic.

I would highly reccomend this dive company. The owner Franco was very helpful and accommodating to the divers needs. His B&B next door to the dive shop was also great, rooms were to a high standard.

Hi,
you can have a look on the website divebluewaters
How long you’ll be staying and how far you want to go with scuba diving will also probably influence your decision.
If you’re staying at least a week and want to continue diving then I think back to back combination of Open Water & Advanced Open Water courses is the way to go. If you’re not sure at the moment a Try Dive will probably be more appropriate.
Happy diving
Jaromir
