Blue Dolphin 2017

Towards the back end of last year, mid November i was luck enough to have been involved i helping out with land support  for this event, that has not taken place in Malta for over 10 years! This was the 12th editon of the competion and the first one in 13 years. Held in Gozo, we got up and head up from Malta the day of the event, 4 am start and the weather didnt look good!
 We arrived in Marsalforn where all the participants had agreed too, transport for the event was kindly helped by local dive operator St Andrews dive cove, 8am divers turned up total of 17, 11 of them had flown in from other country's around europe to take part.

 As one of the judges Christian Llewllyn, flew in to judge the photos for the event!, During the morning, every one came and took a tag had the camera checked, and once that was done large clap of thunder echoed out over the sea, so we got divers in the water, with safety divers and safety boat from rescue corps Gozo on stand by and thats it the divers sank below the waves and for the next 2 hours the sea light up with camera flash and strobs the competition catagors ranged from 'Best Picture', 'DSLR Camera', 'Compact Camera'. Macro not Macro the list goes on and on, but at the end of the day the heaven had opened and who did not dive was wetter that the divers, but it was worth it seeing the finished results was amazing.

 This Event is open to international divers from all over the globe with amateur and professional category. Big thanks goes out to everyone involved in making this event happen, especialy FUAM Federation of under Activity's Malta.
