Another Malta Trip

Posted under Holidays & Malta

From the 16th of April until the 20th of April I had the pleasure of going to Malta again. Last time I was there was in February.

The group I was taking there for Aquasport (the divecenter where I work as instructor) had the pleasure of diving with DiveWise.

Here is a few picture of the staff and the divecenter.

DiveWise is without doubt the most professional divecenter I have meet while travelling, always on time, very friendly, highly qualified instructors/guides and they had a deep knowledge about the divesites.

Dive day #1

On day one we went to Cirkewwa and had to good dive, first on P29 Patrol Boat, and the second on the Tugboat Rozi.

Dive day #2

On day two we went to Wied iz Zurrieq to dive the Um el Faroud two times.

Dive day #3

Because we are flying quite early on the 20th of April, the last to dives have to be quite shallow. Out first 4 dives each was to about 30 meters, so we have to be a bit conservative.

The first dive was on the HMS Maori:

The second dive was on X127 Water Lighter, also known as Coralita.

All in all this was a very nice diving trip, the water was warmer, and the weather was more user friendly than compared to the last trip in February, which still was very nice.

Below here is a bunch of pictures taken on the trip.

A short trip to Malta

Posted under Holidays & Malta

From the 6 of February till the 10th of February, I had the pleasure of talking of group of divers to Malta. During the short stay, people had the chance to do 6 dives. Unfortunately the weather was against us, closing down some of the dive sites.

But we still had some nice dives, here is a few of my pictures from the tour:
