How Did DS Divers Malta Begin?
DS Divers Malta, originally known as Buceo Malta, was founded by a Franco-Spanish couple, Laurent and Rosa. For several years, they dedicated themselves to offering diving services primarily to the Spanish-speaking community. Among their many students was Diego Scuro, who, after completing his Open Water course with them, found himself drawn deeper into the world of diving. Eventually, he and his partner, Genesis Jiménez, took over the diving centre, carrying forward its mission and legacy.
As Diego and Genesis continued to train Spanish-speaking divers, they formed a close friendship with Diego Sánchez, a well-known PADI Course Director. Their strong professional bond and shared vision for diving education led them to join forces, rebranding the centre as DS Divers Malta. This partnership not only strengthened their presence in the Spanish-speaking market but also helped establish DS Divers Malta as the go-to dive centre for Spanish speakers on the island.
Both Diego Scuro and Diego Sánchez have since gained recognition beyond the diving community, featuring on television programmes such as Viajero 4 and Castellanos Manchegos, further expanding their influence within the Spanish market.
