Two sides to Divemed: diving and film
Divemed has two distinct sides. The first is a scuba diving centre for people who want to learn to dive or simply go diving. Its welcome is a direct invitation to take a plunge into the depths around Malta, and the centre is listed on VisitMalta.co.uk with the other dive centres in Malta. The second is the Divemed Underwater Film Unit, a team of professional divers and freedivers who work on productions at sea and beneath the surface.
The company's motto, Same planet, different world, sums up the idea. Living and working on the sea is a way of life for the team, whose skills have been built over years of diving and freediving in the changing conditions of the Mediterranean.
Learning to dive and diving in Malta
The home page invites beginners and certified divers alike, and the team trains divers as well as film crews. Malta has a reputation as one of Europe's most rewarding places to dive, with clear water, wrecks, caves and reefs, and many UK visitors take a first lesson here. Check with the centre which courses, group sizes and languages are available, since the website sets out the centre briefly and does not list a price list or schedule.
If you want to compare options, our directory also lists Abyss Diving Club in Bugibba and Apnea Total Malta for freediving in Gozo. For kit, see the diving equipment shops in Malta we list. Our Blue Lagoon guide and Gozo guide point to other places worth seeing between dives.
The underwater film unit
Malta is a long-established setting for film work, and the unit offers a full list of services for productions: diving doubles and stunt doubles, underwater special effects, underwater filmography as a director of photography, dive coordination covering location scouting, logistics and safety, underwater action direction, safety diving and cast training. The training programmes are tailored to a production, from basic swimming skills to advanced diving.
The unit also supplies equipment for filming at sea and underwater: boats, rigging, diver propulsion vehicles, full face masks, underwater camera housings, vintage equipment, thermal wetsuits, dive gear, lights and strobes, communication systems, underwater power tools and smoke effects. If you are a producer, location manager or student filmmaker, tell the team what you are planning and they can say what is possible.
A useful enquiry names the type of shoot, the dates, the number of divers or performers involved and the depth and location you have in mind. Dive coordination on the unit's list covers location scouting, logistics, safety, equipment and support, so a clear brief at the start lets the team plan each of those pieces. The film unit's portfolio is available on request.
Finding Divemed and the south east
Marsascala is a seaside town on the south east coast, a drive from the capital described in our Valletta guide and from the harbour towns in the Three Cities guide. Heritage sites such as the Ħal-Tarxien Temples are within reach, and the page on things to do in Malta has more ideas.
If you are visiting Malta mainly to dive, a base on the south east coast puts you away from the busiest resort strips, and a car makes it easier to reach the centre and other sites. Bring your certification card and logbook, and tell the team about any recent diving history when you enquire.
Sea temperatures and visibility vary through the year, so read the Malta weather guide before planning a dive trip.
