Who are we?

World Record Diving Malta is an organization hosting a series of recreational as well as competition diving events on the Maltese Islands. The main scope behind the organization is to showcase the sport of diving in Malta whilst also promoting the Maltese Islands as an ideal destination for divers. Therefore, we endeavor to organize many innovative events and aim to bring the diving community together as often as possible for pleasure diving as well as team building. 

 World Record Diving Malta, commonly known as WRDMalta, was founded in late 2011.  After attempting a number of record dives both for cold water as well as for warm water, the team involved had evolved into a strong, dedicated team of motivated individuals working hard together towards a shared goal whilst proving excellent communication skills and effort between one another. The team started to become well known for their positive team player attitude and received much recognition for their record diving events. Therefore it was agreed that the team should take the next step forward and that is how World Record Diving Malta was born.

 The foundation of our organization is based on the following five values:

1.      Safety: Role modeling safe diving procedures and striving to set a good example when doing so.

 2.      Teamwork: Encouraging teamwork, communication and collective responsibility towards the organizations’ objectives.

3.       Integrity: Showing constant drive and motivation to improve performance.

4.       Innovation: Striving to develop new activities whilst continuously improving existing procedures.

5.       Excellence: Seeking to achieve the highest level of performance in meeting our goals.
 

These values are based upon our shared belief that “ In living a life that honors your highest values, you can achieve unimagined success- rising to your true potential and experiencing fulfilling at the deepest levels” – Michael Angier.

  The team has worked hard to make World Record Diving Malta what it is today and even though the organization has named a director and assistant director, each individual contributes equally towards our success. Based on the infinite variety of skills and abilities demonstrated by our members, the team has been split into the following sectors: Safety Diver Support, Surface Support, IT Support, HR, Marketing & Media Support- all together known as WRDMalta. 

WRDMalta has organized a series of world record breaking dive events based on saturation and endurance diving and throughout the past couple of years have received record achievements and recognition both by Guinness World Records as well as by the Malta National Records Office. These accomplishments were received for the longest time endured both in cold water as well as in warm water. The team is now however looking at broadening our horizons, and with our heads put together, we have managed to come up with a number of new exciting challenges and records to attempt in the future, which will surely be followed by even more ideas and many more events. Furthermore, in order to encourage the diving community to unite, WRDMalta has also organized other events such as beach clean ups, recreational boat dives as well as a fun and innovative experience formally known as ‘Treasure Island’ – an underwater treasure hunt challenge new to the Maltese diving community. 

 

 

At World Record Diving Malta, however, we do not only base our events on physical challenges but also as charitable goals. For this reason, all of our events have been organized in aid of charity, having promoted, contributed and encouraged donations in past events both to local charities such as Dar tal-Providenza as well as to foreign research campaigns such as The British Psoriasis Foundation and Brain Cancer Research, and plan to carrying on helping those in need as much as we possibly can in the not so distant future.
