Malta, Gozo and Comino offer excellent Snorkeling locations around the islands. The coastlines are indented with the cleanest and bluest in the Mediterranean. In Summer it is remarkably refreshing and inviting. There are no real tides, no treacherous currents and no known dangerous fish. The Maltese themselves prefer swimming from the smooth rocks, as the number of sandy beaches are not plentiful , just 11 of them !
 On the rocky beaches , children can safely play and swim. From these you can dive in where the waters are deep or simply starting out to enjoy the pleasures of underwater discovery with mask an flippers.
There are also beach establishments and lidos with cafes, beds and umbrellas, showers and the opportunity to water-ski, windsurf, jet ski and sail. The less energetic can rent a pedal o or canoe.
