The award for best diving destination had a strong list of contenders battling it out for the top three places, Egypt came out on top followed by Malta in second place, and the Maldives who came in at third place.

Another local achievement awarded on the night was for Maltaqua, who were voted runner up for the ‘Best Dive Centre’ award.
