Gozo - the pearl of the Mediterranean
Experience the Mediterranean at its best
Diving in Gozo – an underwater paradise. Since the days of Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Hans Hass, the Mediterranean has lost none of its allure for divers. Even though some regions of the Mediterranean are affected by environmental problems, there are still places where its beauty and biodiversity unfold in all their glory. One of these special diving spots is Gozo.Gozo, the smaller sister island of Malta, lies about 150 kilometers south of Sicily in the heart of the Mediterranean. The island is a true paradise for divers and also offers numerous attractions for the whole family. Breathtaking underwater landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and fascinating biodiversity make Gozo one of the best diving destinations in the region.
A variety of dive sites for beginners and professionals
With over 40 dive sites, Gozo has something for everyone, from beginners to advanced and technical divers. Sites can be reached by land or boat, and day trips to the neighbouring island of Comino or the main Maltese archipelago add to the variety.
The diversity of the underwater world is impressive: wrecks, drop-offs, arches, caves, grottos, passages and tunnels make for an unforgettable diving experience. All this in crystal clear waters with fantastic visibility, where the sun's rays dance in a water temperature of at least 15 degrees.
Season & best conditions
In spring and autumn, divers can look forward to particularly atmospheric night dives as the sun sets early - but the temperatures remain pleasantly warm. Between June and November, air and water temperatures range between 20 and 30 degrees, and even higher in midsummer. Even in winter, temperatures rarely drop below double digits, making diving attractive all year round.
The underwater world is fascinating, with schools of small fish, barracudas, groupers, rays and even the occasional seahorse. Underwater photographers and macro enthusiasts will also enjoy the colourful variety of nudibranchs.
Tauchen auf Malta oder Gozo – was ist der Unterschied?
Wer einen Tauchurlaub in Malta plant, stellt sich früher oder später diese Frage. Beide Inseln bieten fantastische Tauchplätze – aber das Erlebnis drumherum ist ein ganz anderes.
Malta als Hauptinsel bedeutet: mehr Tourismus, mehr Verkehr, mehr Trubel. Wer schon mal versucht hat, auf Malta von A nach B zu kommen, weiß wovon wir reden. Gozo dagegen ist ruhiger, übersichtlicher und entspannter – und genau das schätzen Taucher, die hierher kommen.
Dabei liegen die bekanntesten Tauchplätze der Region ohnehin auf Gozo. Das Blue Hole – ein Tauchplatz der auf keiner Bucket List fehlt. Oder die wahrscheinlich meist fotografierte Treppe unter Wasser: die gehört zur MV Karwela, einer absichtlich versenkten Fähre vor Gozo, die Taucher aus aller Welt anzieht.
Und die besten Tauchplätze Maltas bleiben dabei trotzdem in Reichweite. Wracks wie die Um el Faroud gehören bei uns zum Programm – Tagesausflüge nach Malta organisieren wir auf Wunsch dazu.
Ob Tauchkurs, geführte Tauchgänge oder ein komplettes Tauchurlaub-Paket – wir schnüren dir ein Angebot das zu dir passt, egal ob du alleine reist oder als Gruppe.

Discover Gozo above water
Gozo has much more to offer than just spectacular diving sites. The island looks back on over 5,000 years of eventful history and has been influenced by almost all the major Mediterranean cultures. Here you will find prehistoric temples, remains from Roman times and impressive buildings from the era of the Order of Malta. A stroll through the picturesque alleys or a visit to the citadel in Victoria brings history to life.
But Gozo also has plenty to offer beyond culture and history: idyllic landscapes, charming fishing villages, traditional markets and hospitable people make a stay here a special experience. Those who enjoy shopping will also find what they are looking for – from inexpensive diving equipment and handmade souvenirs to local specialities such as olive oil, honey and wine.
This means that diving in Gozo can be perfectly combined with culture, nature and relaxation. Whether it's relaxing days on the beach, culinary discovery tours or exciting excursions into the interior of the island – Gozo offers something for everyone.
Those looking for maximum flexibility can also arrange a rental car through us.
