My ultimate 2-week Malta itinerary for scuba divers
Who would have thought I would need 3 trips to Malta to find the best itinerary to visit the smallest country in the EU as a scuba diver? There are so many tempting dive sites around the islands that if you want to indulge in the wealth of culture on offer, you’d better be organised to make the most of your time. Thanks to …
Diving in Gozo: my top 5 dive sites in Malta’s sister island
I kept my promise. It took me 7 years, but I promised to return to Gozo and stay much longer. The last time, I thought it was fine to be halfway to everything on Malta’s main island. It included the Cirkewwa ferry terminal for day trips to Gozo. While possible, the two times I did it, it was both exhausting and frustrating. Why? Because …
Diving in Malta: my top 5 dive sites all around the island
Malta might be the smallest country in the European Union, but the southern Mediterranean archipelago has earned the title of the scuba diving capital of Europe. And it was by building up its dive map since the 1970s. Besides clear blue waters all year, the Maltese islands offer one of Europe’s largest densities of shipwrecks and scenic cavern systems.

I had plenty of time to try things up between scuba diving in Gran Canaria and experimenting if Las Palmas could be my …
Diving in Gran Canaria: my top 5 dive sites all around the island
Thanks to a previous short trip to Tenerife, I knew diving in the Canary Islands was underrated. So, I was excited to have one month diving in Gran Canaria to explore their waters further. Smaller than Tenerife, the island serves as the local capital of the Spanish archipelago. Maybe it isn’t fair to compare a 4-day trip in Tenerife with a 4-week trip to …
On the Lighthouse Road: my 2-week itinerary in Brittany
After diving into the details of the two spots I explored underwater along the Lighthouse Road, Saint-Pabu and Camaret-Sur-Mer, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to let you know everything that happened in between. While considering my options for this long-awaited scuba diving adventure in Brittany, I stumbled upon the itinerary of the Lighthouse Road. I had one of these lightbulb moments (ok, …
On the Lighthouse Road – Part 2 – my dives in Camaret
In my quest to dive deeper into local diving, I searched for the best places to go scuba diving in Brittany, my home region. I discovered there was a corner I had never set foot on, even less a fin in. Before every trip, I’m always tempted to cram a little bit too much in a 2-week itinerary. After hours of research, I finally narrowed …
