Weekend Diving @ Dawn Diving Malta.

Well the summer is coming and now its time to work again,Living and working in Malta and in the Diving industry can be tough, but its every ones DREAM! So last week i popped into Dawn diving for coffee ad chat and Big Trevor (if you know him,you will understand nearly 7ft of diving machine)
ask's if i am free for the weekend for some diving? so hell yes not that i need to find and excuse to jump in the water, So i find out its recreational dive! Oh i said and off home i went and packed all my side mount and tec gear away and blew off the cobwebs of my regs and bcd and thought hard wet suit or dry suit straight away i headed to the kit room at home and fetched out my undersuit packed and ready.

So sat 8am i roll up out side meet by dave fantastic guy and instructor i have know just over year, he there counting out the cyl for the groups, then Trevor appears with big smile and list of my divers for the days guided dives, followed by Jane the better looking part of Dawn ;-) with big cup of Coffee 2 sugars white!!! what a way the start the day, so we get the vans loaded all the kit and paper work is done by 08.10, now its time for the divers, and they all turn up by 08.20 wowowo 10 min early, they get there kit sorted and then loaded, we had clients out for PADI Deep Spec and few guys from SIA CP UK doing their open water courses and me out on guided dives.

So we head out to West of the island to Cirkewwa Dive site once there its booming with divers from all over the island, well what would you expect Malta just won 3 place as best diving destination in the world. so we fight for parking and get all the vans together.Dave our driver jumps out and grabs his students and gives the low down on the site toilets and food and drink area, entry exit areas and heads straight into the main briefing, i have head off with my guys and briefing on the P29 Ex German mine sweeper starts,... Trevor in the back ground sorting out his student for deep diving....

All kitted up and off we go, the day was fantastic there was no push or rush everyone was relaxed the way it should be when your on holiday we done our 2nd dive and that was equaly as good as the wreck heading down on the reef swimming through tunnels and over hangs fantastic day, so we headed back and washed our gear and sunday morning the sun was shining but the ground was wet darn it! the vis is not going to be great today so headed down and everyone turned up and same again packed up and headed out to same location this time the other wreck the rozi and the arch, we done our briefings and off we went down to the rozi and the vis was great 30+ meters baraccuda on the wreck, nudibranci all over the wreck but also alot of sea ghosts and salpas maxumus.

Then on the end of the 2nd dive family of john dorys swam past which i have never seen in this part of the island,which was fantastic and the clients were buzzing from the dive all the way back to the center.

I just want to say thanks to Dawn diving and their team for making me feel welcome and for letting me help do some guiding i had a fantastic weekend Thanks.
