Freediving in Caves & Tunnels, Gozo, Sept 8th

Freediving in caves and tunnels with Alex on Gozo, Malta. Sites visited: 1. Inland Sea (Dwerja), 2. Blue Hole (Dwerja), 3. Tunnel outside of the Blue Hole.  4. Xlendi cave, 5. Cathedral Cave.  Great conditions, warm water so we skipped wetsuits for the later dives. I tried using the GoPro as a “belly-cam” and it worked out pretty good, and nice to be hands-free while diving.

Freediving, Inland Sea tunnel & Blue Hole, Gozo, Aug 26th

Sunday session at the dive sites Inland Sea tunnel and the Blue Hole on Gozo. Clear water and amazing views.. I was solo which is not ideal from a safety point, so I didn't push it, just casual swims.. First time there since the Azur Window disappeared into the sea in a big storm, a scenic view that is missed..

Freediving, Ghar Lapsi tunnel, Aug 24th

A few laps through a tunnel at Ghar Lapsi, Malta. Entry from the lagoon is around 2 meters deep and the exit probably around 8 meters deep. Not sure about the length but perhaps 15 meters? Good idea to scout as much as possible, popular passage with scuba divers, and meeting them in the tunnel could be tight. Also, avoid if the waves are on-shore as the water can them pump back and forth in the tunnel..

Freediving, Tug 2, Sliema, Malta, Aug 22nd

Thursday Sunset freediving at Exiles on Tug 2 , Malta with Kamilla. First time in 10 months, but body and mind felt great. Dropping weight, being healthy and doing some cardio before the trip seemed to make a big difference. Did a few swims through the wreck and max depth was probably around 20-22 meters. (Dive computer had no battery..). Awesome session!

Scuba Diving, Um el Faroud, Aug 24th

A pretty bad video of the Um el Faroud Wreck :-)  Visibility was unusually poor due to winds whipping up sand and sediment, and we didn't make any proper swim-throughs at this dive.. But regardless, one of the better wrecks around Malta, I'be been there 3 or 4 times before and it's always enjoyable..
