About Us

Melita Brown ~ Director of Diving

Kevin Ralph

		We are both PADI Master Instructors and Melita is also a BSAC Open Water Instructor. Kevin is ex-fire service and Melita has a Mathematical Sciences Degree. Between us we have dived in Australia, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Egypt, England, Fiji, Grenada, Israel, Jamaica, Maldives, Mexico, Thailand, Turkey and St Lucia. Both of us having worked in this industry for 8 years, we have clocked up over 3,500 dives each, certifying over 500 divers from Discover Scuba Diving to Assistant Instructor, Emergency First Response and EFR Instructor. We also assist on Instructor Development Courses, this keeps our teaching skills to a very high level. The safety of our customers is our primary concern. The dive centre is fully licenced by the Malta Tourism Authority, and all the equipment was new in 2008. We offer mostly shore diving on Malta and Gozo, and boat diving from a luzzu (traditional Maltese boat) or rib on Comino. Being a small dive centre, you will more than likely be diving with one of the owners, allowing us to keep our teaching skills impeccable, and also giving us the opportunity and enjoyment of meeting and accompanying qualified divers.

		Melita won the Malta Tourism Authority's award for best sports instructor 2008, and Kevin was runner up in 2009. Members of the public were invited to vote for their favorite instructor. We are very pleased that we have received two awards in our first two years of opening, and would like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted.


		We are also a member of the Professional Diving Schools Association of Malta.

As for our name, Corsair Diving, we looked for something with relevance to Malta whilst being original and memorable.

Corsair was the name of Mediterranean pirates who protected the Maltese islands and the Mediterranean.

The Knights of Malta were captains of their own vessels, their greatest victory being in 1565 when they drove off an Ottoman fleet sent to capture Malta.

We are able to service and repair our school regulators on site. We are both qualified Gas Blenders, and offer nitrox courses and dives for qualified users.

Our shop is all on one level and has a disabled toilet, so the shop is very wheelchair friendly.

Kevin is also a magician and loves karaoke (once he starts its difficult to get him off).

Melita, unfortunately, just has to put up with it…….

Thank you to Jack, George and Bryony for their help in designing our Logo.
