Once we know how long you wish to stay in Malta for, we can recommend the visa that would best suit your needs.

Malta mainly issues two (2) types of visas:

The Schengen Visa (short stay), which is issued for a period not exceeding 90 days and is regulated by the EU’s harmonized provisions

The National Visa (long stay / D-Visa), which is issued for a period exceeding 90 days, but no longer than 365 days, and in accordance with national rules

This is a great question to think about! We understand that everyone’s situation is unique, so we tailor our approach to each candidate individually.

Throughout your professional training, you’ll work closely with our Pro level Team, who specialize in Professional Development.

This direct interaction ensures a smooth transition from each stage to the next.

It’s beneficial to complete the Instructor training while the knowledge from our Divemaster Course is still fresh in your mind, as the IDC builds upon it. and the same can be said of OWSI going into MSDT.

Each Pro Dive course stage is a development in your learning journey and is designed to allow you to progress at your own pace based on ability performance training and evaluation.
