About Malta
Scuba Diving Malta
The Archipelago make up of the Maltese Islands consists of Malta, Gozo, and Comino, strategically situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, 95 kilometres south of Sicily and 290 kilometres from the coast of North Africa.
The Maltese Islands boast a unique legacy: 7000 years of rich,
fascinating history ranging, amongst others, from the Pho
enicians to the Romans, the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, the French and lastly the British who governed the islands for over a century and half until Malta gained independence in 1964, becoming The Republic of Malta in 1974.
This myriad of cultures has left a wealth of treasures and architecture above and below sea level. Historical finds are still there to be discovered adding to the aura of mystery that 
surrounds these Islands.
The transition to full European Union status was relatively smooth and took place in May 2004. One might add that Malta is as developed and stable as any of the other member States.
Jan 2008 will also see the Euro introduction to Malta, dual pricing came into force July 2006.
The Islands have a very high standard of living, so much so that it was recently voted third highest in Europe!
