    Same as others.

    Alan, Viv and Nev at Divewise at the Westin if your in Malta....

    Sue, if your stuck for work speak to alan, he may have something over the period...

    Malta is a great year round diving place.... shame that more people don't go there.... although it does seem that the dive tourism has picked up over the last few years and (tongue in cheek) the roads are improving.....

    i can also recommend Antonin Red Wine and Barrels of Cisk

    Julian

    If anyone is looking for accomodation on malta pm me as i have a 3 bed apartment out there with Cable Tv, for the non diving days, and Wifi for uploading of those great pics

    Last question guys -

    I have an Otter Extreme drysuit 4/5mm compressed neoprene - I am going to take it out to Malta with me but not sure what to wear underneath....I've only dived my drysuit with a 200 undersuit which I suspect will make me far too hot in a sea temp of around 18deg....any thoughts?? How about shorts &
    t-shirt?

    The water temp is 19 degrees at the mo, so I would suggest something like lightweight jogging bottoms (like Ron Hill's) and a long sleeve t-shirt - at least your skin will be covered if there happens to be a bit of a wind chill going off when you get out.

    Having said that, when I'm in my drysuit - my arctics are the norm even up until May!

    Smile Malta & Gozo

    Looks like my visit to Gozo is going to be very brief, so no time to dive - but have done some dives with Divewise......Alan & Nev have been great!

    Looking forward to doing some more on the 30th and NYE...

    Christmas Eve morning in Cirkewwa diving on the reef, the patrol boat and the Rosie with great viz and glorious sunshine was fantastic - saw a big school of Barracuda - thought I was in the Indian Ocean not the Med!!

    Beautiful.

    It was an absolute pleasure to meet the pair of you this evening and to share a beer or ****, I hope you enjoyed your meal and had a safe trip back to the 'big island'.

    Looking forward to seeing you both again in the summer, hopefully!

    Keep in touch!

    Sue,

    It was really nice to meet you - Mrs SonicStomp and I had a good time in Xlendi, we are now back in Sliema for the next couple of days before flying back to the UK.

    We will be looking forward to coming back again in the summer - we are already plotting our escape to Gozo for then! :-)

    Until the next time,

    Safe diving and all the best - SonicStomp
