MALTA: Why people go?? Situated 93km south of Sicily and 288km from the North African coast in the Mediterranean Sea, the Republic of Malta is comprised of three main islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino. These rugged limestone islands attract around 40,000 visiting divers every year. In recent years, low-cost airlines have moved in to create a cheap holiday alternative to the crowded tourist spots in Spain and Greece. Flights to and from Malta are frequent and depart from many of the smaller airports around the UK, including Bournemouth, Bristol, Newcastle, Glasgow, as well as Gatwick. Why people really go?? Clear Mediterranean waters, history, water sports and low-cost, quick flights (less than three hours in the air from London). Diving areas: Malta is the perfect place to slip off for a cheeky dive, as most of the best dives sites can be accessed by shore. With its rocky coasts and unpolluted water, Malta is well known for its excellent visibility, which is between 30 and 50m. Regardless of the weather, there's always a good site to be found, be it wreck, cave or reef. The seas around the Maltese archipelago are virtually tide-less, so you can pretty much jump in the water for a quick dive at any point of the day. None of your non-diving holiday companions will even have time to notice you've slipped off for a bit of underwater 'me-time'. Blue Hole, Gozo "Scenery going to the dive is awesome, looking at the Azure window. Next door is the inland sea, which is a good dive in itself, but if your navigation and air is good the combo is awesome. Start in Inland Sea, down to 10m, through to Ocean down to 22m and keeping wall on left shoulder gradually back up to 15m, across first inland part (10 fin kicks) to join wall on left, the through Azure window and 30 fin kicks to Blue Hole at 12m. If your air is good, then go past blue hole cave entrance and turn right keeping wall on left, and then in through chimney swim-through up to 7m, then back round to right (wall now on right) and rejoin blue hole cave entrance, explore cave before ascent into the Blue Hole itself. Smile at the tourists as you surface. " Jamie Furness HMS Maori " Malta diving:it's great. The HMS Maori wreck dive at St. Elmo Bay, Valletta was excellent.
