Malta ?

Yes. I can recommend Malta. But it really depends on what you expect to
get out of your time there.

It's typical Mediterranean, i.e. there is not much fish life. But the
underwater geology is good with drop offs, walls, swim thoroughs and
caverns. There are a few wrecks around, HMS Maori, Blenheim Bomber,
Rozi and the Um el Faroud are the favourites.

Diving is predominately shore based and if you have a buddy you can
hire tanks and equipment and explore the dive sites yourself without a
guide which is they way I prefer it. You can then visit sites before or
after all the dive centers and often end up having wrecks all to
yourself.

Someone mentioned the book by Peter Lemon. I highly recommend it. I use
that as the basis for all my unguided dives.

Care to expand on "how poor their safety" means? Is this limited to one
dive center or Malta as a whole?
