Malta has been awarded the title of Best Diving Destination in the World at the prestigious boot Düsseldorf Dive Awards 2025, held on January 24.
The Maltese Islands stood out for their exceptional diving conditions, including diverse wreck sites and unique underwater experiences.
The award was decided by a panel of expert judges, including editors from top diving publications like Divemaster, PLONGEZ!, TAUCHEN, and Taucher.net, along with input from the international diving community through public voting.
Competing in the Destination category, Malta outperformed its rivals with a strong diving infrastructure and opportunities for divers of all levels.
Malta’s year-round diving, stunning marine landscapes, and historical underwater sites make it a top choice for enthusiasts.
It boasts over 40 diving centres, two decompression chambers, and protected marine areas such as Ċirkewwa Marine Park. Sustainability is a key focus, with Blue Flag-certified beaches reinforcing Malta’s commitment to conservation.
Strong flight connections from Germany and excellent value for money further enhance its appeal. Malta Tourism Authority CEO Carlo Micallef emphasised the win as recognition of Malta’s dedication to marine conservation, tourism excellence, and ongoing investment in the diving industry.
