Great report Digs, I did have an aversion to Malta caused through a dodgy holiday there years & years ago. Looks like I will have to get over that now though - Malta 08 any takers?

I went this year. It works quite well as a long weekend trip. We just hired a car, bought the dive sites book and suited ourselves, which meant a couple of dives each afternoon, no nasty early mornings and a few late nights

yeps agree with Sue. Altough some entry and exit points were improved a little bit but some are still challegning. Some entry/ exit points would be more challeging when the wind is blowing.

Don't let the DACFG's tease you pumpkin - Gaz had a quick fumble with some bloke called Russell round the back of a chip shop in Wrexham and that's about as close as he's got n'all. It is a *ahem* different Amy isn't it?

dunney21 saw the sea in a book once
a bit mean!!!

hi all, befor anyone has ago at me yes it is my first post so might as well introduce my self here and know. im an active PADI AI who happend to spent his summer working on the little island of malta, diving with all the training agencies that u refferd to. Probably should tell you too that i worked for the very dive center you refer to, H2o,
quiet honestly im shcoked to have seen a report on malts on this website, but more so to have seen a negative one about the dive school. the divers they have working for them are top notch, the equipment is well maintained and constantly checked for wear n tear, the rib is by far the best i have ever dived from, and i just cant belife you had such a bad experiance with them.
if people are having doubts about the quality of diving or diving with h2o, take a look at the website, and just look at the posts on the gest book, is it just me or do the number of happy divers on that site maybe put a lot of doubt on your post digger, who knos but from working with them id say so. take a look at the website H2O Divers - Scuba Diving Malta Gozo Comino PADI Courses Maltese Dive Sites Wrecks
