the TRaNSFER

The driver will be waiting for you at the airport with your name on a board after you exit the airport control.

If you booked a transfer with us directly, you need to know the following :

Direct transfer is a door-to-door service where you do not need to unload your luggage. The driver will be with you on the ferry until your final destination on Gozo. (accommodation or Gozotechnicaldiving)

Split transfer is a transfer that drops you at the ferry in Cirkkewa where you need to unload your luggage and take the ferry to Gozo and take another of our taxi on Gozo. (this is not a door to door service)

Taxi transfer time from the airport to the ferry terminal is about 35 minutes, depending on traffic.

  • the ferry ride is only +/- 20 minutes from Malta to Gozo (so enjoy the scenery and its breathtaking view of the Islands)

  • you will pay a 4.65 euro fee (2 ways) at the Gozo ferry terminal when you return to the airport, so no need to pay anything when you come to us.

THE DIVE CENTER

Arriving at the dive center is pretty straight forward, we start at 9 AM usualy, we will give you a briefing how we operate here at GOZOTECHNICALDIVING, explain you the O2 kit and emergency numbers. (if you have a late arrival, we will do that the next day at 09h00)

You can unload your equipment and put it in boxes and hang your equipment. The all the dive center is CCTV supervised, we never had any issues with equipment been stolen.
To gain time you can also fill in the forms that you find under the following link: Check-In Form (no need to print it will be automaticaly saved digitaly).
You will just need to bring us a copy of your dive card, original or digitaly if you are already certified.

GUIDED DIVES

If you are doing guided dives you will meet your Instructor at 9 AM at the dive center. You will prepare your gear, analyse the gases, do the planning, briefing, load the boxes, cylinders, O2 kit and go for the dive. We start slightly later for a very good reason, we go diving when other dive centers come out!

If you are taking a course you will meet your Instructor at 9 AM at the dive center. He will guide you through the steps before starting the course.
Please note you will need following equipment if you come for a course ask us before you buy twice or wrong!
For Intro to Tec and Advanced Nitrox you can get the gear at the dive center.

Sidemount - tecsidemount

If you are coming for a sidemount course or tecsidemount course you will need to have your own harness, a sidemount harness needs the right adjustment and we do include the setup this in the course if you buy it from us.
