    Malta is a popular diving destination year-round, with warm water temperatures ranging from 21-26°C (70-79°F). The best time to visit depends on your personal preferences and the type of diving you want to do.

    If you want to dive with large schools of fish and see pelagic species such as tuna and swordfish, the best time to visit is during the warmer months of June to September. These months also offer the best visibility and the calmest seas, making them ideal for diving in the clear waters around Malta’s numerous wrecks.

    If you’re more interested in seeing smaller marine life, such as octopus and cuttlefish, the cooler months of October to May may be a better option. These months also offer the chance to see seals, which are more common in Maltese waters during the winter.

    Overall, the best time to visit Malta for diving will depend on your personal preferences and the type of diving you want to do. It’s worth noting that Malta can get quite crowded during the summer months, so if you prefer a more laid-back atmosphere, it may be worth considering visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn.
