Weather & Dive Site Info

Choosing where to dive always depends first and foremost on weather conditions, site availability and your abilities. We try to put all these variables in one page by combining the weather report, a view of the dive site (where available), and maltadives.com ‘s interactive map so you can choose your abilities, qualifications and interests.
