Description
Have you ever dreamed of running your own dive centre on a Mediterranean island? This is your chance. An SSI-accredited dive school and Extended Range center in the heart of Marsalforn, Gozo, is now looking for new owners. Over the past years, we have transformed it into one of the island’s most respected operations—small, personal, and high-quality.
We’ve welcomed hundreds of divers from across Europe, many of whom return year after year, not only for Gozo’s world-class dive sites—wrecks, caverns, and crystal-clear waters—but also for the personal touch we offer. With Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards four years in a row, glowing Google reviews, and SSI recognition for excellence, this is more than just a business: it’s a thriving community.
The centre is fully licensed (MTA License No. DIVE/G/0002), well-equipped with top brands (Mares & xDeep dealership, DPVs, dry suits, technical gear, and three vehicles), and perfectly located for both recreational and technical diving. It is compact yet fully functional, with a shop front, classroom, and storage/cleaning facilities.
Currently operated by us (a couple) with a focus on quality over quantity, we dive mornings and use afternoons for prep, training, or time to relax—a lifestyle balance much appreciated by our divers and by us. At the same time, the centre offers huge growth potential if you want to scale up with more staff, extended opening hours, and walk-in traffic.
This is a turnkey opportunity for someone ready to live the dream: an established, profitable dive centre with a strong reputation, in one of Europe’s top diving destinations.
Reason for selling:
After five fulfilling years of growing and running the dive centre, the owners are ready for a new adventure and lifestyle change.
Expansion Opportunities:
Currently run by two owners with a focus on quality over quantity, diving only in the mornings and relying on online bookings. There is significant potential to expand through:
# Extending opening hours for walk-in traffic
# Hiring additional instructors
# Broadening specialty and technical training offerings
# Leveraging the prime location for more retail sales
Offered Support for the new owner:
Full after-sales support will be provided, including introductions to suppliers and trusted local partners, help with SSI crossover or instructor specialty training if required, and guidance to ensure a smooth handover.
