We completed a PADI nitrox course with New Dimension Scuba as well as several additional days diving. Ben and Susie couldn’t have been more professional, from my initial enquiry through to the end of the time with them. They were really thorough in delivering the course and ensured that safety was a priority on all dives, including adapting the dive plan to the weather conditions. My partner is a nervous diver and they made her feel completely at ease and made sure she enjoyed all her dives. They put a lot of time and effort into carefully planning the dives so that we were able to see as much of the island as possible. We had a fantastic time - I can truly say that I had the best dive of my life with them - and we would highly recommend diving with Ben and Susie.

After a lot of research into the different Dive Centre's on Malta, and reading all the really positive reviews, my girlfriend and myself decided to use NDS to complete a PADI Open Water referral course for myself prior to doing some leisure diving. Susie & Ben from NDS kept us both very well informed of what to expect, the options available, and some useful travel tips prior to our visit. During the course Susie did a fantastic job with the training and provided me with the right level of encouragement and help to ensure I was comfortable at all times in the water. Safety was always front and centre with Susie's instruction being excellent throughout. After successfully qualifying, Susie took my girlfriend and myself on several dives to experience what Malta has to offer which was the highlight of the trip. We'd both highly recommend NDS to anyone visiting Malta and looking for a high quality, professional, and fun dive centre to use. For ourselves it was the small diving groups, flexibility, and high quality training that really made it.

Hello
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for diving with us, and for the great review. We always appreciate hearing feedback from our divers. It was an absolute pleasure having you both, a lot of fun and great seeing everything you both achieved in the water while you were here.
Keep in touch, and I hope we all dive together again in the future (a lot more dive sites to show you).
Many thanks
Susie (and Ben)

We have just come to the end of our holiday and are so sad to be leaving. My son completed his PADI license here and my husband did his advanced course while on Malta.
From the moment we met Ben we were put at ease and reassured by all his knowledge and how conscientious he was!
Ben was incredibly patient with my son who was lacking in confidence and struggling to equalise his ears.
By day 3 he had settled all his nerves and achieved equalisation with ease.
Ben was so thorough and put both my husband and son at ease all the way through.
We now have a little open water certified little man 🥰
Thank you so much guys.
We can’t wait to come back !!! Xxx

We booked a try dive with Ben and Anna who were so friendly and accommodating and made us feel at home straight away. We learnt so much and felt safe throughout and dived along a reef, we saw so much sea and plant life close up and an underwater cave which was stunning. Thank you so much for giving us an amazing holiday memory, we wanted to do it all again as soon as we got out of the water. When we return to Malta we will go in the water with these guys again and with the grand kids. New Dimension Scuba is such a professional company, when in Malta you got to try a dive with these guys who will take you on a journey and be amazed at our beautiful marine life.

Had a great learn to dive experience on Christmas Eve with Susie who took the time to calm nerves and explain everything. Would definitely recommend NDS for anyone wanting to dive whilst visiting Malta, her knowledge and professionalism was second to none. Thanks Susie!

Ben, Susie and Aga at NDS are absolutely amazing. We went to Malta for just over a week and they organised everything so well.
I did my sidemount course there, and Aga is an amazing instructor. I learned a lot and grew as a diver.
Any request (weather permitting) was met with a “yes we can do that” We dived wrecks, walls, reefs, the inland sea and the blue hole. Ben is an amazing underwater guide and critter spotter and he was always so easy to stop because of his completely relaxed body language under water.

This was our first visit to Malta which in itself is such a beautiful little island. We booked 4 leisure dives and the PADI Wreck Specialty with NDS and I have to say I've had one of the best diving experience with them. We spent most of our time with Susie who is a phenomenal instructor, she is extremely knowledgeable and a very relaxing diver to be with. My one thought whilst writing this review was it felt more like diving with a friend than a stranger in a foreign dive school. They were extremely accommodating for our diving preferences and tailored the dives accordingly, helped by their comprehensive knowledge of dive sites in Malta. I have to give all of the guys at NDS (Susie, Ben & Aga) a 5 star review all round for their friendliness, professionalism and price, you would be hard pushed to find better. If we find ourselves back in Malta we will be back with NDS for a dive.

Thank you so much for the great review, it means a lot. It's been an absolute pleasure having you both here and you're both welcome back any time. Please let us know if you do plan on coming back to Malta as it would be great to dive with you both again (and put your new wreck diving skills to good use).
Have a safe journey home :)

Having been my usual self and left everything last minute I had a few days before arriving in Malta and still hadn't booked my open water course.
Yet from the off Susie at NDS couldn't have been more accommodating. The communication from the dive centre before, during and after was excellent. The training was perfectly balanced between the need for serious teaching moments and light hearted/dark humour.
I cannot recommend both Ben and Susie enough,they are highly knowledge and very approachable trainers and I delighted I was able to share my PADI journey with them. They are both assets to any dive centre thwy choose to call home.
If you're looking for a place to do your scuba training or pleasure dives be sure to check these folks out!

My husband and I have just completed our AOWD with NDS and they were brilliant. Communication beforehand was excellent and Susie and Ben were very accommodating and patient with all our questions. The course itself was well run and our instructor Sam was also really patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and his obvious experience instantly gave us confidence. Sam also showed great mentorship in the way he interacted with trainee DM Anna, which was lovely to see and reassuring that his professional standards are set high. The course size was small which allowed tailored help and guidance. All in all a really well run and friendly dive centre that we highly recommend and would use again.

I have just had an amazing experience with NDS.
Ben and Susie are so welcoming and immediately made me feel comfortable. I was lucky enough to have 2 dives with Ben who is not only lovely but has a gentle, patient manner that eases any nerves. He is very knowledgeable, not just in diving but the local history too (and many other things, a font of all knowledge :D)
Highly recommend, I shall definitely be returning ❤
