Malta is an archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea that is formed out of seven smaller islands, out of which only three are inhabited, and they are Malta, Gozo, and Comino.

The water is filled with a colourful combination of caves and wrecks, along with a wide variety of fauna and flora. Among the fish you will be able to recognize are groupers, amberjack, octopi, squid, flying fish, gurnard, stingrays, meager, parrot fish, red mullet, and occasionally tuna and moray eel.
