Company description Frankie`s Gozo Diving Centre is now a well established dive centre in a class of its own, offering all the facilities that the diver needs, in just one place - the professional way.
At our centre we also have a training pool that has been specially constructed for beginners` courses as unlike normal pools, it has a flat bottom and two different depths, one of 1.5m and the deep end of 4.5m. This is the only pool of its kind on the island as our centre is not just a dive shop but a complex for divers.
At Frankie`s Diving Centre, we offer various accommodation options. Mariblu Guesthouse is part of the Dive Centre Complex. Here one can stay in double rooms, on bed and breakfast or half board. Family suites, consisting of 2 seperate bedrooms, bathrrom, kitchen and dining room are ideal for groups or families as here they can stay on bed & breakfast or even self catering as these suites have a fully equipped kitchen and facilities.Our restaurant, The MARIBLU offers Italian and Traditional Local Cuisine, while our Pizzeria & Wine Bar is open all day. Mouth watering pizzas as well as light snacks are served all day by the pool. We also serve dinner by the pool and also organise barbeques by the pool for our divers. After the dives, one can relax by the pool and have a beer while making new friends and talking about the diving experiences and travel plans. It is just like a DIVERS` CLUB for a week or two and this is also what makes our centre different from others, which are just dive shops that close down after the dives. After all, that`s what is nice about diving, talking for hours about a 45 minute dive !! We do not just provide diving services but also a good friendly atmosphere which after all is the social side of diving.
Unlike in other normal hotels, here, all the residents have the same hobby and interests - diving - and so you will not be isolated, not even if you are travelling single.
We can offer all services from your arrival at Malta International Airport till your departure.
We will meet you at the airport and provide the transfer to the accommodation of your choice. Same arrangement will be provided on the way back.
We can also book self drive cars for you and you will find these on arrival by the ferry or where you will be lodging. There is a variety of cars from small economical cars to bigger and airconditioned ones. For groups, we suggest self drive jeeps that will be more ideal for bigger numbers and will get you anywhere round the coast.
Besides diving services, we also offer Private Charters, daily cruises, sailing trips, jeep safari, combi tours and other excursions round the islands. These are also ideal for non diving members of the group or family. The ``BLUE LAGOON`` is a 40 foot motor cruiser which is used for daily boat dives round the island. This too, has been built with the driver in mind as it has a big diving platform with nice ladder specially designed for divers. It also has a head (toilet) kitchen and fresh water shower. The ``BARBAROSSA`` is a 70 foot wooden motor sailing yacht and it is the only one of its kind on the island. We use this graceful boat for Dive Safaris, Sailing Trips and also for Private chartering not just round the islands of Malta and Gozo, but also to Siciliy. The BARBAROSSA can sleep 12 divers in 6 double cabins, all with ensuite facilities. It also has an aircompressor on board.
We also offer all kinds of holiday services both for divers and non divers.
We offer dive courses from the Introductory to the Assistant Instructor Level. Our instructors can also lead you either from the shore or from our dive boats to wonderful reefs, magnificent drop offs, caves, tunnels or wrecks, even on night dives.
Location description: Gozo is one of the few remaining Mediterranean islands still totally unspoilt. It is a haven for divers from all over the world. The warm crystal clear waters ensure near perfect diving conditions to enjoy the drop offs, caves, tunnels, grottos and spectacular scenery for which Gozo is renowned.
Combine this with the profuse marine life and you have a photographer`s paradise. Apart from the excellent shore dives, less frequented sites can be reached with any of our dive boats. For the less experienced or the total beginner, one could not find a safer, or more exciting place to learn to dive.
*Xatt L-Ahmar
This is a shore dive over a reef with several drop offs starting from 9 m down to 21m. In this area the marine life is very good with a great chance of finding octopus, scorpion fish and morays. This dive is ideal for beginners or for a nice and shallow dive.
*Xlendi Wreck
This wreck is a double-ended Ro Ro car passenger ferry, which was built in Denmark but used as a ferry crossing between the Maltese Islands . The Xlendi ferry is an artificial reef and when it was being sunk it landed upside down as it has hit one of the sharp drop offs just outside Xatt L-Ahmar. The ferry is standing on a sandy bottom at 42m with the hull upturned at 30m of depth. The dive is still very interesting and is suitable for experienced divers.
*Fessej Rock
This is a rock coming up to the water surface and is just a little too far from Mgarr ix-Xini bay to reach from the shore. So it can only be dived from the boat. It offers a very good dive for divers of mixed ability as one can dive around it at various levels from 60m to a shallow reef on the northern side. On this dive site one can find barracuda, tuna, dentex, amberjacks and grouper as well as octopus and squat lobsters.
*Mgarr ix-Xini
This is a shallow dive ideal for a check dive or introduction to cave diving as along the right-hand wall there are two small caves at around 14m of depth. Near the entrances of the caves there are several crevices which host delicate lacy bryozoans and light bulb tunicates. This bay is excellent for night dives as you find quite a few octopus, rasor fish, seahorses, and flying gurnards and stargazes.
*Ta` Cenc
This dive is a nice and shallow dive starting at around 7m deep and encountering huge boulders, gradually giving way to a steeply sloping wall covered in algae and marine life such as rainbow wrasse and long snout wrasse. It goes down to the depth of 26m. It is a dive where you meet some cuttle fish, soles, stingrays, stargazers and lizardfish. To the left of the entry point there is also an attractive cave with sandy bottom at around 14m of depth.
...and many more!
