Charlie, Casey and the team are the best!! I dived with the Cresta team during the second week in May. Before i went out to Malta I had an e.mail exchange about water conditions, temperatures and equipment; and received both excellent and honest advice. Things only got better once I was picked up on the first day (you have to... More

Very very friendly, reassuring, professional staff. Treated my teenage grandson brilliantly building his confidence and his expertise. Highly recommend anybody wanting to give this a go but are a bit apprehensive. Don't worry, contact Charlie and she'll guide you from there. A huge thank you to all at Cresta More

Just wanted to tell any divers looking to go play in the beautiful waters off Malta, the best and only dive center you should use is cresta. I have dived all over the world and had the chance to use many dive centres and meet some great dive instructors but I would have to say that as soon as I... More

After some years away from diving, I decided to start up again. I decided to book a holiday to Malta because I've always heard that the diving is great. I happened across Cresta and liked the fact that their dive packages were "all inclusive", I was sold after a few emails which were always answered promptly and with a wealth... More

Cresta is a very good dive center. My buddy and I are fairly experienced divers and most of the time we were paired up with a dive master just to ourselves. While the whole group would go to an area to dive, there was usually both an advanced dive and a dive suited for novices that could be done. We'd... More

If you are looking for a great diving experience, then you defenately need to check out Cresta! Safety is a must with this friendly, fun and experienced team. I stayed a little more than a week, and did my open and advanced. I'm already planning my next trip. If you are lucky you can even see some seahorses. I can... More

I am a 22 year old backpacker, who traveled to Malta on a lark in June 2011. I wandered down to Cresta Dive Centre for a single dive, based on local recommendations. After that dive, I knew I wanted to take advanced dive courses with them. Charlie went through all the costs with me on the first day, and there... More

This summer, I have chosen this centre based on the great reviews below but to say the least I cannot agree with them much. Been an Open Water, I did not feel surrounded by professional and caring divers. I went there to undertake 3 speciality dives to build up towards my Advanced Open Water certification. Here is the description of... More
