Our story

From a buoy and a line, a school grew

Freediving Malta started with a simple idea: everyone should get to feel what it's like to move through clear blue water on a single breath. What began as one instructor, a buoy and a line off the rocks of Gozo has grown into a full Molchanovs education center.

We keep it personal on purpose. Small groups, honest coaching and days that feel like an adventure with friends — not a classroom. From the one-day Discovery experience to Wave 2 depth training, every course follows the Molchanovs philosophy: technique, relaxation, community.

The Wave system

A globally trusted education path from your very first breath-hold to record-level depth.

Safety first

Small groups, strict protocols and instructors who dive every day of the season.

A real community

You don't finish a course — you join a tribe of freedivers who train together.

Why Malta

One of the best classrooms in the sea

Crystal water

The Mediterranean around Malta & Gozo offers 25–30 m visibility in season.

About Freediving Malta & Gozo — safety, education and passion

Join us for an unparalleled freediving experience with Freediving Malta & Gozo. Dive into a world where safety, education and passion for the underwater realm come together. Our freediving courses are designed not just to teach you how to dive but to immerse you in a culture of respect for the sea and its wonders — experience the thrill of gliding through crystal-clear waters, surrounded by vibrant marine life, while honing your skills under the guidance of our expert instructors.

We believe that freediving is more than just a sport — it's a way of life. Our approach to teaching is rooted in a deep respect for the ocean and a commitment to safety and continuous learning. We emphasize the importance of mental and physical preparation, ensuring that our students not only improve their diving skills but also develop a profound connection with the underwater world.

Safety is our top priority. We adhere to the highest standards of safety protocols to ensure that every freediving experience is secure and enjoyable, and our instructors are trained to handle any situation. Education is at the heart of what we do: our curriculum caters to all levels, from beginners to advanced freedivers, ensuring that everyone can learn and grow at their own pace in a supportive, inclusive community.

Our instructor brings a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for freediving and teaching. Safety is paramount, so students learn proper safety protocols — breath-holding techniques, equalization methods and emergency procedures — with personalized instruction tailored to each student's abilities and goals. Beginners build confidence in a supportive environment, experienced freedivers refine their form and efficiency, and those chasing depth are gradually introduced to greater depths with advanced equalization and supervision. We also guide students on physical conditioning, breath training and relaxation exercises, and teach environmental awareness — how to enjoy marine ecosystems while minimizing our impact on the underwater environment.
