What people usually pay
Budget for Malta's accommodation environmental contribution and for any site-specific access systems or heritage-wreck arrangements that affect your plan. Standard recreational diving does not rely on one single nationwide diver tag, but some places or categories of dives have extra controls.

| Accommodation Environmental Contribution | EUR 0.50 per person per night, capped at EUR 5 per continuous stay Per stay | Tourists aged 18 and over staying in paid accommodation | Collected by accommodation providers in Malta and Gozo | This is the current official amount advertised up to 30 June 2026. It is charged separately from the room rate. |
| Blue Lagoon landing pass | Free Timed entry slot | Visitors stepping ashore at Blue Lagoon during managed access periods | Where to pay | You reserve a QR code rather than buying a ticket. The system is designed to control overcrowding and protect the site. |

Access is controlled and generally requires pre-arranged centre support or permission workflow. |
