Dive Certification Requirement
Two Morning Dives in Gozo for Certified Diver
To participate in this diving excursion, divers must always possess a valid dive certification.
Those without proper certification can’t join the tour, as it’s strictly limited to certified divers only. Uncertified individuals unfortunately can’t be accommodated for safety reasons.
The tour operator requires all participants to present their certification cards before the start of the activity. This ensures that everyone has the necessary skills and training to dive safely in the waters around Gozo.
Divers must also demonstrate a moderate level of physical fitness, as the dives may be somewhat demanding.
Physical Fitness Expectation
Given the nature of the dives, a moderate level of physical fitness is required of participants. Individuals with back problems, heart conditions, or other serious medical issues should refrain from booking this tour, as it may prove too physically demanding. Pregnant travelers are also not recommended to join.
The dives involve exploring the crystal-clear waters around Gozo, which requires a certain level of stamina and mobility. Divers should be comfortable swimming for extended periods and maneuvering underwater.
While the snack break provides a chance to rest between the two dives, the overall experience demands a reasonable degree of physical preparedness. Participants should be honest about their capabilities to ensure a safe and enjoyable diving adventure.
Group Size Limitation
The tour is capped at a maximum of 8 travelers per group, ensuring an intimate and personalized diving experience.
This small group size allows the dive leader to provide more focused attention to each participant, addressing their individual needs and concerns.
It also reduces the environmental impact on the delicate marine ecosystem, preserving the pristine beauty of the dive sites.
With fewer divers in the water, you’ll enjoy a greater sense of tranquility and connection to the underwater world.
The group size limitation guarantees a more exclusive and tailored adventure, making the most of your time in Gozo’s crystal-clear waters.

This clear and flexible cancellation policy allows certified divers to book with confidence, knowing they can adjust their plans if needed without financial penalty.
Weather-related Concerns
Poor weather conditions can call off the dive, so the operator closely monitors the forecast. Rough seas, high winds, and poor visibility would force the tour’s cancellation.
The operator reserves the right to cancel the tour if conditions become unsafe, ensuring the safety of all participants. They won’t risk the group’s well-being by proceeding in dangerous weather. Participants will receive a full refund if the tour is canceled due to inclement weather.
