For their second consecutive year, S-Cubed is giving you the chance to (literally) dive into the marine world. They’re organising a Try Dive on 21st September which you can partake in just for €30.

We’ve all had scuba diving on our bucket list at some point. This is the perfect chance to check it off and spend an afternoon living your full Little Mermaid fantasy.

Underwater diving gives you the opportunity to appreciate marine nature up close and personal. Forget the days of peering behind glass windows at aquariums or at pixels of fish online. Granted diving may sound easier than it is because of all the professional equipment involved.

But don’t worry, S-Cubed has you covered with expert divers on standby making sure your dive is super safe and secure. This means you won’t just be there gawking at pretty fish and coral reefs. If you think diving’s up to your alley, this try dive is the perfect chance for you to kickstart a new hobby! No experience or equipment needed, leave it up to S-Cubed and DiveShack Malta.

Here’s how a try dive normally pans out:

The experts will teach you the basics of diving techniques before you actually dive deep. The instructor will guide you every step of the way and explain all the equipment and precautions. Once the training is done, all that’s left is to take the plunge!

This experience is the perfect way to see what diving’s all about or just to spend a fun afternoon exploring the deep blue. What’s a better end to summer than getting in touch with the sea?

But hey, if you don’t believe us, why don’t you read what other students who snatched up this opportunity, had to say about the experience:

Jamie Buttiegieg told us that, “It was only during a class visit hosted by Nathan Adams that I happened to find out about the Opwall Expedition and I was immediately hooked on the idea. I applied for it and I did Open Water Course in South Africa! I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s a whole other world down there and we did open water dives in such remote sites that there is absolutely no chance that you could find such sites anywhere else on this earth.

What didn’t we see? We saw Sharks and Mantra Rays to name a few. There were so many other fish swimming so close that you could touch them, but it still seemed like dream. I was so happy. So much that I was speechless. There are not enough words to describe how amazing this opportunity was. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.”

Furthermore, Gabrielle Grixti explains that, “I heard about the Opwall Expedition while I was in Sixth Form at St Martin’s and I was very interested in the idea. Naturally, I applied, not just once, but twice. I enjoyed my first expedition to Romania so much that I applied once again the following year and went to Croatia where we got the opportunity to Scuba Dive.

We were scuba diving on the beautiful island of Mljet in Croatia and although I was terrified of the idea of breathing out of a tank, it was always something I wanted to do, so my awesome instructor helped me push past that anxiety.

We learnt a lot about safety while diving, as well as the different techniques to use in case of an emergency, so we felt extremely safe by the end of it. We learnt a lot about the marine biology of the Adriatic, and got to see many cool species of fish such as morays, starfish, sea urchins, octopi, corals and sponges.

I would encourage everybody to experience what I did, scuba diving is simply amazing, and nothing beats that feeling as if you’re flying over the sea bed, with all types of interesting species swimming around you!”

If you’re interested, S-Cubed is willing to help you take your first plunge ever! For the price of €30 you will get the amazing opportunity to experience life better down where it’s wetter, under the sea!
