Greetings from sunny Malta. This is fab, arrived in the small hours of Friday morning, and have done 4 dives. 4 fab dives, which is ace, and we're going to get some done tomorrow too. 2 weeks of Heaven - wonderful. I'm going to try and get the trip report sorted out and posted when I get back, I don't know what the problem is with it.

The water is cold - 14 degrees, but the sun is lovely and warm. The viz is n ot that good, but hey, when it's as warm and sunny as this, we can't complain. Especially when the dives are so good. I might drop by when I'm not diving and let you know how wonderful it is out here!

Seriously, enjoying it and nice to meed PADI as well. Catch you whenever, take care and dive safely. Ribbet.

It's really nice out here and I'm looking forward to going to the Good Friday parades. The diving is ace - I did the Faroud (33.2m) but that was a short one as I was on a 12l. There are lots of interesting corridors and things to explore, but I need a bigger tank, lines and all sorts of other stuff before I even CONSIDER doing anything like that. I also want to have a few more looks before I make the final decision. I'll try and get the late (Dec??) dive report on when I get back to the UK at the end of next week. Other probs, one of my furry babies died before I came out so www was the least of my concerns. See you when I get back, enjoy the cold and rain (wandering round in shorts and T-shirt at 09:00hrs - can't get better!!) I'll shiver on return! Dive safely. Ribbet.

Hope you had a good flight back and look forward to diving with you again in December - I'm told the cattle have come out of hiding now you have left the Island although several of them seem to be missing a hind leg :-o)

Flight home OK, thank you. Mountain of mail, most of it was given to the rats to shred for bedding! It's 9 degrees here, food is bland compared to Malta, but no-one can cook a joint like Paul! His beef joints are wonderful - no wonder he had one on standby when he saw me coming. Back at work now (deep joy) and planning Dec already. I want to spend my 40th out there. Ginge won't be able to come (shame) as he can't get time off in December. Dear me, how sad, such a shame, how upsetting, what a pity, I am devastated.

I'll speak to you when you return to the UK, regards to all out there. Be safe.

Contact you in detail when I get back - u would not believe the weather here now - it's foul with winds force 5,6&7 forecast with frequent changes of direction so I am in no hurry to get back to it. Hope the party on Gozo are not too disappointed.
