l have just returned from a 2 week family holiday in Malta, went with the hope of getting four days diving but managed seven.
Diving day 1. Two dives from the shore at the Blue Grotto to the wreck El Faroud, sea temp at surface 24deg at 35mtrs 17 deg.
Great wreck 10,000t tanker 35 mtrs to seabed 16 mtrs to top of superstructure and open for penetration....................................
(the only thing that was on this holiday, maybe due to the fact that l left da missis to go diving)
Diving day 2- Gozo, the inland sea and the Azure window both v,good dives.
Day 3 - Tug boat Rozi and the reef at Marfa point, good wreck great reef.
Day 4 - Boat trip to Comino, to dive Lighthouse reef and cominotto cave both great dives the later being a shallow cave system.
Day 5 - Boat trips to the wreck of the Imperial Eagle which was a malta-gozo ferry sunk in 42 mtrs, another v good wreck, and a second dive on the Rozi.
Day 6- Pretended to be James Bond used diving centres torpedos from tyhe shore to get to the El Faroud again,
This time we were able to travel the full length of the hull and them back along the deck.
Second dive again to the El Faroud, park torpedos, we were them able to go through the rear susperstructure starting in the engine room, then through the cabins ending at the bridge.
Day 7- boat trips to the Torpedo boat in 40mtrs and the blenheim bomber in 42 mtrs
Both good dives however l was expecting the blenheim bomber to be more intact and larger.
l will definately go back, but l would go with a small group and during the winter.
l dived with Deep Blue Diving and was very impressed.
Forgot to add, l `ve now got to work for four weeks untill l go to Scapa and Farnes for 1 1/2 weeks....yippeeee.
