Alison Micallef Brennan, British expat, living in Malta since 1995, runs the dive centre with her husband Noel. She will answer your enquiries, handle all bookings and cuddle your babies. Baby Jonathan came from South Africa and was upset to find he was too young to dive.
Martin Hall, PADI IDC Staff Instructor, employed by us since 1999. Martin is British and has lived and worked full time as a PADI Instructor in Malta since 1995. He has received a certificate of excellence from PADI for outstanding teaching practice and is very highly thought of by both experienced divers and novices alike, as a quick trawl through online diving forums will reveal. Martin was voted best sports instructor in Malta, in a competition organized by the Malta Tourism Authority throughout 2006. Tourists were encouraged to nominate an instructor deserving special commendation and Martin received the most nominations. At an awards ceremony in March 2007, he was awarded an 18ct gold lapel pin, certificate and cheque for LM500. (£790 sterling.) Thank you to all our clients for their nominations. Update 2008 - Martin has won the competition for best instructor again having received the most votes throughout 2007.
