Scuba Kings offer a unique package that allows you to get the best out of a diving holiday in Gozo at an excellent price. Our “best of both worlds” package is ideal for groups of 12 to 24 divers. There has never been a better time to come as Easyjet are offering return flights, including taxes, from £69 from Gatwick, £88 from Manchester, £95 from Liverpool and £128 from Newcastle. 20kg baggage is only £18, no weight restriction on hand luggage! Considering the cheapest flights to Sharm are over £240, we offer far better value for money and freedom to explore.
We are also offering a prize of a 3 stage set of the Apeks flight regulators to the first club to put down a deposit for a group of minimum 12 in 2011. Results will be published on our news page.
For a group with minimum PADI Advanced what we will give you is;
a self drive Maruti jeep between 6 divers for use on the dives and for sightseeing.
a guide with a support vehicle that can carry your kit and the tanks and look after 12 divers. Tanks and weights and 10 organised dives.
We also include the airport transfers and accommodation (based on 4 sharing) a two bed-roomed spacious sea front self catering apartments in Marsalforn.
The guide handles the logistics, has the local knowledge of the dive sites but also looks after the safety aspects, including dive logs, risk assessments,
emergency assistance plan,
first aid,
spares kit
and oxygen facilities. This takes the stress and risk away from bringing a group on holiday gives the organisers the chance to relax and enjoy the holiday as well. If the group leader is an instructor we can also register him or her with our centre (need a valid medical and insurance) and their time can be freed up to teach courses etc.
Every group has unique needs and this package can work in many ways, sometimes we guide and supervise the less experienced divers, while the experienced ones just listen to the briefing and plan and execute their own dives Other times we have been left to supervise at the surface and sometimes we guide everyone. We work hard to give the group flexibility and take away the stress so that everyone has a great holiday. The only thing this package is not suitable for is a large group who are in-experienced and need close supervision. We can still look after you but we will have to reduce the instructor to customer ratio to an appropriate level and this will have an impact on costs (just e-mail me with your requirements and I will be happy to do a customised quote).
Pricing can be made for special
group sizes and to suit any requirement (luxury
villas etc), but as a guide, we offer the following
group prices that include 1 free space
in 12, i.e. pay for 11 get one free.
If no free space is required then the price
is €15 less per person. If you have
a group of Open Water level, we can match the
pricing below but we do not provide the self
drive jeep and we have an instructor ratio of
6 to 1 or better. If you just want pure
guided diving without the jeep see Holidays
Guided Package , which will be slightly
cheaper.

Gozo is certainly like no other island, it is quirky and original. While it is a mecca for divers, it is also a fantastic place for a family holiday.
If you are looking for a wild party island with night clubs open all night and hoards of youths to get drunk with, then this really is not the place. We have our share of night clubs but they are up-market and sophisticated. Gozo is a relaxed place where the pace of life is slow and it's almost always sunny.
1. Ramla Bay beach was rated by the Sunday Times as being in the top twenty beaches in Europe. This natural red sandy beach has a gentle slope and is perfect for all the family. Restaurants and facilities are situated by the car park and behind the beach are swathes of dunes and mature tamarisk trees.
2.
At Hondoq bay there is a gently sloping beach and plenty of facilities, the snorkeling is great and plenty of fun is to be had joining in with the locals jumping in off the pier walls. The view is stunning, you look across to the Blue Lagoon on Comino and you can even see Malta on the other side.
3.
Visit the Ggantija temples, the oldest man made free standing structures in the world, dating back to around 3,600BC.

Go snorkeling and swimming at Mgarr ix-Xini, one of the most beautiful spots in the Med, with a delightful restaurant.
