What our Clients think About Us
- KayleighFantastic snorkelling experience. Andrea was very knowledgable and made you feel at ease, providing a good overview at the beginning and pointing out interesting things as we went along. If you’re not a seasoned cold-weather Brit I would wait until it’s a little warmer, but even despite that it was a great experience! Myself and my boyfriend really enjoyed it, there was lots to see, the sea is amazingly clear and the bay is perfect for this experience. All of this coupled with Andrea’s passion and knowledge made it a must-do. Would highly recommend.read moreread lessPatrickWow! Something special to run around the old city of Valletta with Pepo as an experienced and enthusiastic guide. If you like running, learning a bit about the history of Valletta and experience the most spectacular views all mixed together with some interesting stories go for this one. Pepo tailors the pace according to your level. The run itself is nice and challenging but not too tough. After 10k in and around the city you will guaranteed feel very satisfied.read moreread less
- JoeI had a great run with Pepo. I was the only person who had signed up (perhaps because it was the low season for tourism), so I had plenty of opportunity to ask questions. I had just arrived in Valletta the evening before and I needed to get a run in, so I went on Pepo’s tour to get both done at once. Pepo’s a great guide—he knows a lot about Valletta’s and Malta’s history and he also gives great restaurant recommendations! He’s a warm and outgoing host—we had a fun time. The route takes you out along the perimeter of Valletta—some spots I definitely wouldn’t have figured out myself and with some great views. I recommend signing up!read moreread lessKatrienDeMulder
Must do when in Malta We had a wonderful day snorkeling. I did the snorkeling safari with two friends of mine. We were guided by Giovanni and he's the best. He gave us good instructions and has many stories to tell us about. We really enjoyed it. Definitely the highlight of our Malta trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone and will come back.
Keep up the great work! Thanks again!read moreread less - annadolc
Un'esperienza imperdibile! Alla scoperta dei fondali di Malta, in piena sicurezza, imparando come controllare il respiro e i tuoi pensieri, mentre scendi verso il fondo del mare solo con le tue forze e scopri questo mondo di silenzio e grande bellezza.
Non avrei mai pensato di potermi rilassare a 10 mt di profondità e invece è stato proprio così. Il nostro istruttore, Andrea, sempre calmo e sempre al nostro fianco, pronto a darci un OK quando avevamo bisogno di un po' di incoraggiamento e pronto a darci consigli quando riemergevamo pieni di entusiasmo.
Un'esperienza da provare. Da provare e da ripetere assolutamente.read moreread lessAnissaMerci pour cette expérience ! Nous y sommes allés, mon conjoint et moi même, nous avons adoré ! Andréa nous a tout de suite mis à l'aise car nous ne connaissions rien à cette activité. A l'écoute durant toute l'expérience, je n'ai eu peur que les premières minutes !
Merci encore !read moreread lessAlbaHighly recommended experience even if it is the first time snorkeling! I really enjoyed it! Andrea is very professional, friendly, patient and helpful. He explains everything and really pays attention to you during the snorkeling experience, making sure that you are all right in every moment. The groups are also small what allows to get a more personalised attention and a good interaction with the rest of the members. Had a lovely time with this activity and felt in good hands.read moreread less - DInesh
Great Day at Anchor Bay (Popeye Village) We had a very nice snorkeling tour with Andrea. In the morning he came to pick us from Sliema, and he was there right on time. He was very friendly and gave us lot of information about life in Malta as well. We had a more than 1 hr snorkeling tour and he took us for various parts around the Anchor bay. We felt very safe and guided for the whole time. Enjoyed it very much and recommend highly for any one.read moreread lessLouisaWe had the most amazing time during our full day snorkeling trip to Gozo! It was definitely the best experience of our vacation in Malta.
Andrea has been super friendly and provided the best experience to each 4 of us, even though we had different levels and expectations for the day. From very beginner to more experienced, Andrea provided tailored aquatic mentoring for each one of us, in addition to selecting the best spots to go according to weather and sea conditions.
As opposed to many diving sites in Malta, Divers Code is really specialized in snorkeling and freediving, so if it's what you want to do I fully recommend them.
I'd definitely go back and try some freediving 🙂
Thanks again Andrea!read moreread lesssanthan
Best snorkelling experience in Malta A great day out with Andrea and Pepo, if you are looking for an all encompassing snorkelling experience then the divers code is the winning choice. For first time snorkelers, Andrea and Pepo did everything to make sure we were comfortable and safe both in the water and out. What’s not advertised is their great local knowledge of both dive sites and the surrounding areas. We did the half day snorkelling safari tour Malta due to the weather but our only regret is that we could not spend the entire day in the company of these two great people. @Andrea and Pepo if you ever in South Africa please reach out.read moreread lessVenOoWe went on a girls trip and some of us were tried and they were ever so patient and friendly. They had such a positive attitude and made our experience memorable. I would definitely recommend Marco and his team. They gave us plenty of choices and gave us a little tour to popeye village and was very welcoming! Thank you for the experience! Loved every second of it!read moreread lessValentinaEsperienza assolutamente da fare! Abbiamo contattato Andrea il giorno prima per chiedere informazioni e il giorno dopo alla mattina è venuto a prenderci all'hotel per condurci in due località dove fare snorkeling e apnea. Consigliatissimo per chi ama il mare e vuole scoprire i fondali senza l'ausilio delle bombole.read moreread less - EmanuelaTrovare un host così disponibile e appassionato non è cosa facile. Pepo ha condiviso con noi un bel ricordo mostrandoci una parte di isola vera e fuori dalla confusione turistica. È disponibile e attento alle esigenze, informato e preparato sulla storia di Malta. Consiglio questa esperienza a chi ha il desiderio di concedersi qualche ora nella natura e conoscere una Malta più vera.read moreread lessVIBA89
Highly recommanded! My girlfriend and I booked a tour with Divers Code and Pepo as our guide. We were a really smal group since only one additional person joined the tour. Pepo picked us up on time, first we had a short introduction into snorkeling with some useful tipps (even if it`s not your first time). After that Pepo discussed with us the best spots for snorkeling, depenidng on the weather conditions at the day. We visited really nice places (not only (for snorkeling) with not to much tourists. Pepo told us a lot about malta: culture, people, traditions, etc.) We got useful tipps for visiting other interesting places in Malta for our vacation. In my opinion: the tour is worth every cent!read moreread lessNeigeThis was amazing.
I booked at the last minute and Andrea manage to squeeze my son.
He is 10 yrs old and he well looked after him.
Elijah was really please but so sad that he didn't manage to get pictures.
So he can't wait to receive some.
It was so great and Andrea is just too amazing and wise.
Thumb up fo you Dear. You are good.read moreread lessViktoria
Half day snorkeling It was an amazing experience. The snorkeling was so great, the equipment,the briefing and our guide Andrea. We liked as well The spot They took us to see,we were really surprised by the amount of fish we saw. I totally recommend the excursions with Divers Code cause I got absolutely the best memories from our Malta trip. Definitely will book with you again next timeread moreread less - NatalieThis was a truly amazing experince. I am not a strong swimmer but I was still able to snorkel with Andrea's expert guidance.

The starfish was magnificent.!!! Thank you for making our day so special. Fantastic!!!!!read moreread lessCharlotteVictoria88
5 star snorkelling experience Myself and my parter booked two days snorkelling with Diver’s Code and had the most amazing time. The booking process was smooth and well organised and the team were really helpful.
Pepo, our guide, picked us up from our hotel for our first day snorkelling in Gozo and was really welcoming and professional.
On the way to the snorkel site, Pepo pointed out important landmarks and told us about the history of the area, and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
We had our own snorkels, masks, and fins, and Pepo had asked in advance for our sizes so he could have wetsuits ready for us. He bought two sizes along so, when the larger size didn’t quite fit, he suggested I try the other one which did. He was keen for us to be as comfortable as possible in the water and his forward planning meant all our equipment was perfect.
But, feeling comfortable isn’t just about what you wear and Pepo gave us a detailed briefing before getting in the water, putting us totally at ease. He told us about how to wear our masks so they were less likely to leak; how to stop them fogging; and how to clear your mask if a bit of water did get in. He demonstrated everything, and this knowledge made for a much more enjoyable snorkel as we knew all the tips and tricks in advance. He also showed us pictures of fish we could expect to see, so we would know in advance what to look out for, and told us about the area we would be snorkelling in.
I was really very nervous before we started about sharks and jellyfish, but after 5 mins talking to Pepo I wasn’t worried at all. He put me completely at my ease. When we did see a jellyfish, I didn’t worry as Pepo had told us about their behaviour and pointed out it was very unlikely we would see anything harmful.
Pepo tailored the trip to our abilities and let us set the pace.
An added bonus was Pepo’s amazing freediving skills. He often went under the water to point out things that were trickier to see, or to bring up interesting shells for a closer look.
What I thought was particularly good was the buoy Pepo carried with him. This meant that we were always safe and visible in the water, and could have held on if we needed a rest. It really came in useful when my mask slipped a bit and I could hold on to sort it out (he also keeps a spare of everything in the buoy in case anything goes wrong mid-snorkel).
Between the two snorkel sites Pepo took us to a brilliant bakery on Gozo, and showed us some Roman salt pans too. It was more than just a snorkel experience as we also got to try typical local food, and find out about more about the islands and their history.
We were so pleased we booked a second day. On that day the weather wasn’t great (it was quite windy) and we were a little concerned the trip would’t go ahead. However, Pepo knows Malta incredibly well and took us to areas that were very sheltered and you couldn’t tell it was windy. He also tailored the day so we had a longer snorkel on the morning, in case the wind picked up in the afternoon.
We felt that this was an amazing team that went above and beyond to ensure we were happy, and felt confident and safe. Everything they did was to make sure we were happy and having a good time. Malta snorkelling is beautiful and Pepo knows the islands incredibly well and really shared his passion and enthusiasm. We would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of booking with Divers’ Code.
Very Fun, very safe, knowledgeable guide, amazing experience. We know we’ll be back before too long.read moreread lessMehrdad
excellent experience Me and my two boys (10 and 12 years old) had a pleasure of diving with guys at the Divers Code.
They provide a sincere service from the moment they picked us op at our Hotel until they delivered us back.
Instructor was very patient ant easy with kids and he got them to lossen up and enjoy the unknown world of under the sea.
I would definitely recommend using diving with them while you are in Malta.read moreread lessZheAndrea was a great host and our experience was awesome. Everything was perfect except for the coldness of the water. He was clear and concise with indications. The rented wetsuits and fins fitted well. Overall, besides the water temperature (we went during May) the rest went exactly as expected and we couldnt have had a better instructor.read moreread less - CBinarystar
Geweldige kennismaking met snorkelen Mijn vriendin heeft mij tijdens onze reis overtuigd om te gaan snorkelen. Ik had dit nog niet eerder gedaan, maar heb het mij sindsdien geen moment beklaagd.
Andrea en zijn kompaan kwamen ons oppikken aan ons hotel en namen ons mee op ontdekkingstocht.
We kregen perfect weer om te gaan snorkelen, maar begonnen met een tour over land. We kregen uitleg en kwamen op een paar verborgen parels. Ook de vele vragen die wij ons stelden konden ze ons perfect op beantwoorden.
Tenslotte kwamen we aan Anchor Bay. Hier kreeg ik, die wat meer hulp nodig had, de eerste introductie tot snorkelen.
Een geweldige ervaring met perfecte begeleiding.
Ik zou hen aan iedereen aanraden!!read moreread less - KerryHighly recommend this experience with Andrea. It has been the highlight of my time in Malta.

Snorkling with kids. Fantastic experience! My familiy had a great time snorkling. Albeit we were at a newbeginners place, we saw plenty of fish!

Best day of our holiday, really glad we did this Two friends and I booked a full day snorkeling safari in Gozo with Diver's code. Our instructor, Pepo, picked us up at our hotel, knew the best places to go taking into account weather and sea conditions, made sure we were comfortable in our gear, and was just really accommodating all around. He also took us to a great place for lunch, that we would have missed otherwise. All three of us really enjoyed this experience and appreciated that it was in small groups (actually, it was just us in our case). We saw some interesting marine life (a small stingray, a rainbow fish, ...) and beautiful underwater scenery. Much recommended!read moreread lessKyungsilPepo is such a nice and professional host that he not only took care of me so well throughout the hiking but also knew so much about the roads and heritage spots. The overall experience was great that it felt really short when it was about 3 hours hiking. Pepo is very flexible with leading the hike so I would recommend to pretty much anyone who's suitable with walking up and down the hills for few hours. I just wish no one misses this great experience while at Malta!read moreread lessAnne
Excellent experience for first time snorkeling We have had an excellent snorkeling experience with Andrea, the owner. He carried out the tour professionally even though we were only two guests. He had suggestions for where to go but was very open to our ideas as well. He managed to make the snorkeling great for both one with snorkeling experience and one without. We will give Divers Code the warmest recommondations.read moreread less - mtbsamjames
Fantastic Day Out My partner and I decided to do the full day snorkelling safari through Divers Code and we were not disappointed. We were picked up promptly from Valletta and taken to their shop where we met our guide, Pepo, and the 2 others who were in our group. We were given a detailed briefing on certain safety aspects, as well as how to snorkel properly. We then went out in their car to the first snorkelling location, stopping off on the way to look at a historical site. Pepo told us a lot about what we were seeing as we drove past and gave us the opportunity to stop if we wanted to take any photos. It was then time to start our first snorkel. I would highly recommend snorkelling with a guide; firstly, Pepo was attached to a buoy which indicated that there were snorkelers operating within the vicinity. Anyone that has been on a speed boat before will know how hard it is to see swimmers in open water. It is not uncommon to have people who have just rented the boat for a day out in the water and are not experienced (happens everywhere, not just Malta). Having this extra bit of security really helped make the both the sessions that much more relaxing and enjoyable. Secondly, Pepo pointed out different sea life and told us what they were which was nice. Lastly, on our second snorkel we swam to this amazing cave. Unfortunately there were a few jellyfish. This did not put a damper on the swim because Pepo put himself in between us and the jelly fish and made sure we were safe at all times.read moreread lessEva
Geweldige snorkelervaring! We werden begeleidt door Andrea en zijn vriend. We kregen eerst een land tour, waarbij we enkele verstopte plekjes te zien kregen en fantastische uitzichten. Ze beantwoordden elke vraag met detail die we stelden. De snorkeluitstap was geweldig. Een goed uitleg en uitstekende begeleiding. Een aanrader!read moreread lessVitoria
Couldn't recommend more! My partner and I did the introduction to free diving half day course with Andrea at divers code, and it was the best thing we did in Malta! My partner is nervous in the sea and Andrea and the other man (I can't remember his name!) made such an effort to prepare him and make him feel safe. The briefing bit of the course was interesting and gave us new and valuable knowledge, and the practical was fun and a good level of challenge. We also booked really last minute but they were able to slot us in, and it was just the two of us with our instructor.
We plan to go back to Malta to do another course with them in the future.
Thank you Divers Code!read moreread lessiradababayeva2016
Just perfecto!!! Having not so pleasant memory about scuba diving i had 2 years ago in Indian ocean (i was in panic and felt uncomfortable), I approach with extreme caution even to snorkeling. But Andrea somehow changed it!!! Every moment i felt uncomfortable (quite strong waves were during 2 days in Popeye village and Blue Grotto), Andrea eyes were on me and it made me absolutely relaxed and helped to enjoy a lot!
I highly recommend Andrea as a professional and careful instructor!!!
I will always look back on my time there with extremely fond memories!read moreread lessMCI highly recommend this trip, the guide was not only helpful in making sure we had all of the appropriate equipment, but also made sure to explain the hazards involved with snorkeling and the wildlife you may encounter in the waters. He also gave us some history about Malta while traveling to a couple of the interesting locations on the island. It was a wonderful trip and if I could go back, id choose the full day option and experience this longer.read moreread less
