Scuba Diving, Gozo

Went on a Saturday trip to Gozo with Jesper, Rafn and Lidia for scuba diving.. We had three great dives on the sites Middle Finger, Coral Cave, Coral hole and the Inland Sea, the last site with a very cool tunnel out into the sea.. Got these nice photos as Jesper and Rafn had a camera for under-water photography.. As usual, some big fishes I didn't know the names of.. The grand under-water sceneries were the high-lights. And just spending a long day out in good company of course..

Scuba diving, Beaufort Fighter, Malta

Finally I got the chance to go scuba diving on the 2nd World War Beufort figher plane that made an emergency landing about 1 kilometer from shore and settled on a sandy bottom more some 65 years ago.. A very early start, leaving by boat at 07.30 on a Sunday morning, the morning was amazing with clear skies, a bright sun and a calm sea.. On the dive site we geared up and then followed the line straight down through the deep blue sea and landed just next to the wreck.. The plane is in good condition with all sections easy to distinguish, although it is laying upside down.. Our group of 5 hovered around in great visibility, 25+ meters.. Maximum depth was 37.6 meters so we didn't stay long and the ascent was made in stages.. Full English on the way home, off to the beach in a little while! :-)

Mtb, Tal-Blata, Malta

Rode from Sliema via Pace Ville and Ras il-Qrejten to Tal-Blata, the area east of Mellieha, north-east of Xemxija.. Really nice and varied terrain for mountainbiking, stone and gravel trails, dirt trails, and old salt-pools hacked into the rocks next to the sea that were great fun to play around in for drops and jumps.. Beatiful views.. With all the elevation up and down it is pretty strenous to bike around there.. Went up to the peak with Fort Campbell and then back down again.. Fell over handlebars and on to the side a few times as usual, but no major damage or me or the bike.. Ride back to Sliema included the regular milkshake at Bahar, ic-Caghaq Bay..
