On a recent holiday we visited Gozo and my friends car who keeps his car in malta to use on holiday/ diving trips broke down with a broken clutch cable . I suggested we go to see Mark at St Andews dive shop to see if he could recommend a good mechanic . Well to cut a long story short Mark the governor was so helpful he arranged his mechanic to fix the problem and the car was fixed within four hours . We were delighted as we were only on gozo for one day and were due to fly out a few days later so thankyou Mark and his mechanics !! On my many visits to Gozo the St andrews dive shop is always busy and customer friendly . If your planning a diving trip give that diving shop a go Evercurios2023-09-07Verified Great days diving We had the best refresher day with st Andrew’s dive centre.We hadn’t dived for 15 years or more and we eeee a little apprehensive but that evaporated very quickly. We were set up so just the two of us went out with our dive master Erika in xlendi bay.She really helped us to feel comfortable and in control and we had full faith in her. She obviously new the bay well and gave us a beautiful experience pointing out various fish and squid then ultimately taking us through the ledge. She went above and beyond by taking many great photos of us diving and the things we saw which she sent to us as a memento.Mark in the office was reliable and well organised and all the team were super friendly.Really recommend Damian M2023-09-03Verified Dive & tour with Gozo’s most experienced and best! My wife and I booked a private boat tour and scuba dive with Mark Busuttil, the owner of St Andrew’s Divers Cove, Xlendi, on the island of Gozo, Malta. What a fantastic day we had. Nothing was too hard for Mark. He is an excellent boat skipper, amazing tour guide and superb dive master.Mark took us to the best sites around Gozo and Comino, steered me through an amazing cave dive, and showed us why these islands are so popular with tourists from all over the world.Thank you Mark! We loved our day with you.Regards,Damian and Michelle.

Un club au top et un guide de palanquée ayant toutes les qualités humaines et professionnelles requise en la personne de Ludovic. C'est un combo gagnant à Gozo entre des épaves, des grottes et de l'explo. Si on a la chance de retourner à Gozo, nous reviendrons dans ce club sans hésitation.

We rented equipment for a day and discovered the beautiful Xlendi Bay and Xlendi Tunnel. There are several fantastic routes you can take here directly from the shore. The equipment served us well and was worth every penny! We could see conger & morray eels, squid, octopus, gar fish, and a barracuda!
