About New Dimension Scuba
Two names come up again and again in reviews of New Dimension Scuba: Susie Williams and Ben Breakspear. NDS, as it's also known, works the St Paul's Bay resort strip, a stretch crowded with rival dive operators, and it doesn't hold exclusive access to any site there. Malta's marquee dives nearby, Cirkewwa, Um El Faroud and the Valletta wrecks, are shore-accessible and shared across the area's centres, which compete on transport, local knowledge and instructor availability rather than exclusivity.
What distinguishes New Dimension Scuba is its size. Susie Williams and Ben Breakspear describe themselves as currently the faces of the centre, managing what they call a small, incredible dive base rather than a large staffed operation. That scale shows in its own-site content too: dedicated pages exist for most of the sites it dives, including both of Cirkewwa's named arches, Ghar Lapsi, Qawra Point and the Tug 2 wreck at Exiles, rather than a generic area overview.
Discover Scuba Diving sessions run daily at set morning and afternoon times, and guided fun-dive itineraries are chosen day to day among the local sites depending on conditions. The pay-per-pack pricing model, confirmed with a deposit and settled at the end of a trip, suits multi-day holiday divers rather than single drop-ins, and free hotel transport is offered across the immediate St Paul's Bay area.
What Divers Say
The same pattern turns up across both major review platforms and a full year of dated reviews: praise clusters on Ben and Susie individually rather than on the centre as an abstract brand. Reviewers credit clear dive briefings, patient handling of nervous first-timers and non-swimmers, and site choices adjusted to the day's conditions rather than run on autopilot.
Several reviewers are repeat visitors, returning a second consecutive year for further courses or fun dives with the same two guides. Across nearly two hundred TripAdvisor reviews, none fall below "good," a pattern strong enough that it reads as consistent service rather than a lucky sampling window.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who guides the dives at New Dimension Scuba?▾
A small, consistent pair: Susie Williams and Ben Breakspear, described on the centre's own team page as currently running the operation. Reviewers across a full year of visits name the same two people repeatedly, plus a third team member, Viv, mentioned occasionally.
What dive sites does New Dimension Scuba cover?▾
Its own site has dedicated pages for Cirkewwa's two arches, Um El Faroud, HMS Maori, the Rozi and P29 wrecks, Ghar Lapsi, Qawra Point, Tug 2 at Exiles, the X127 lighter and Anchor Bay, with the Blenheim Bomber and Imperial Eagle covered as named wrecks in its own site roundup.
Is New Dimension Scuba good for a first try dive?▾
Yes. Discover Scuba Diving sessions run twice daily, and reviewers describe first-timers, including non-swimmers, being calmly talked through equalising and basic skills before entering the water.
Does New Dimension Scuba offer technical diving?▾
It trains toward deeper wrecks suited to technical certification, such as the Malta and Gozo wrecks that sit beyond recreational depth limits, though full technical course pricing is not published and should be confirmed directly.
Is transport included if I'm staying nearby?▾
Free hotel pick-up and drop-off is offered for guests in St Paul's Bay, Qawra, Bugibba or Xemxija.
Do repeat visitors come back to New Dimension Scuba?▾
Reviews include multiple guests returning in consecutive years for further training or fun dives with the same two instructors, which reviewers cite as a reason for coming back rather than trying a different operator.
