Gozo on 4th of July – A High 5 Dive Day
by “He who cannot be named…”
Obviously it being a lovely warm and sunny Sunday in Malta, the scubaworksmalta.com team just had to go diving.
Being July 4th, we just had to make it a ‘High 5 Dive Day’, just because we are like that 
The BSAC divers looked a little (more than normal) bewildered.
So with full cylinders, scrubbers packed (for the rebreather divers), wetsuits (and even a drysuit?!) we duly met up at the Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal.
It was meant to be a dozen or so of us, with 3 on closed circuit, but one rebreather diver pulled out and the Scottish clan had to decline…
So after a quick reshuffle we set off in 3 vehicles for Gozo. Luck was on our side and we got into the fast lane on the ferry. read more...

It is 3.30 on Sunday afternoon. We are currently sitting under an umbrella in our garden watching our dive gear slowly drying as it hangs from the orange tree, two glasses of wine on the table in glasses sourced from the summer wine festival at Valletta last night. The crowd from Scubaworks Malta had met up in Hastings Gardens for a glass or two, and to admire the view which it affords over Grand harbour.
Sounds fabulous doesn’t it? It is except that last night we still had to drive home in a car full of dive gear which has done two dives already, and smelled like ….the bottom of the Mediterranean! It’s been in a large tub of water and Milton now. read more...

By Antonio Anastasi
Standing below the Lantern at Cirkewwa, I anticipate my stride entry and the fizz of bubbles that will follow.Out of the fizz I hear my breath, sounding both mechanical and real.I take an obscene pleasure in being in the water, feeling it all around me.Turning to my buddy, we decide to start the dive, and I cannot stop the smile spreading from deep inside of me as I start my descend.
I trim by weight for the first time and look around me. I orientate myself and head to the great deep blue.The visibility is just too extraordinary to describe, the only limit to this is the hundreds of Fried Egg jellyfish swarming for as far as I can see, reminding me of the introduction of the spoof sci-fi movie Mars Attacks. Only there is nothing ominous or dangerous about these beautiful ,graceful creatures, with their Yellow stems, blue tentacles and reddish caps. The sun shining through them as they catch the light.Getting closer I see individual fry or small colonies of fish living amongst their tentacles. read more...
