| Back in 2007, a small group of us ventured out to Malta as a kind of advanced guard to see what the diving was like on this beautiful island. As owner of a timeshare apartment out there, I arranged for 5 of us to spend a week based in Bugibba and diving with Dive Deep Blue. The week went fantastically well and all agreed that there was little more the dive centre could have done to make the week special. So much so that after leaving a year's gap, we decided to return albeit to different digs as there were 17 of us - even my apartment couldn't cope with that! |

The group was made up of divers of
all experiences and dives were planned accordingly. Non-divers
are always welcome too and despite the main focus being on the
diving, there are always other things that demand attention
(this particular trip clashed with the Rugby World Cup but not a
match, nor beer, was missed!)
This time the trip was organised by
Trevor (Troy Milton) Milne who you may remember as a child actor
in a variety of adverts during the 1960's, who is currently our
Chairman. We again dived with Dive Deep Blue and if anything,
things were better than before. The sites we wanted to dive were
agreed before we left the UK and finalised on site with the dive
centre when we arrived - then as per usual in diving, the
weather changes and spoils everything!! But the beauty of diving
on islands the size of Malta, is that with little fuss, an
alternate site on the other (lee) side of the island can be
found without affecting the quality of diving.
