Location description: Diving in Malta is the best! Great for beginners, course prices are lower than in western Europe, and for such a small island it is amazing how many divespots you can find. The water can be amazingly clear sometimes 50 meters and in the summer time the sea can warm up to 28 degrees. No tides, no sharks, no dangerous animals. How ever sins 2001 I have seen some triggerfish on different locations but they did not seem up to anything nasty. The Mediterranean fish life in general brings less variety than tropical coral reefs. There is corral growing in protective areas (caves and overhangs) but it does not develop in to reefs. Still, take a peace of bread to the Um Elfaroud and you will have a few hundred fishes eating out of your hand. Ideal about Malta is that it`s small. Wind from the North, Dive South. Wind from the East, dive west. Try and do that in Australia! In the Mediterranean there is no tide so you can leave your tables at home. Still there can be some currents, especially at the the south side, Ghar Lapsi and Blue Groto, there have been divers in problems because of the current. Most diving you can do from shore. Ideal for experienced divers with low budgets, just hire a car for 7 Lm, pick up some air and off you go. In the summer most people dive in shorties, the rest of the year 7 mm is perfectly fine (for most people). Unfortunately sometimes there is some hazardous pollution. When this is the case Maltese authorities place warnings along the beaches and dive sites. The locations that suffer from pollution are Anchor bay when the wind is coming from the west. And Along the coast road after heavy rainfall the garbage mountain leaks in to the sea. But the Maltese government is going to something about that. The garbage mountain has to be gone before they join the European community. The climate in Malta is warm and healthy. There are no biting winds, fog, snow, or frost. Rain falls for only short periods and averages about 578 mm in a whole year. The temperature averages 14.1° C in winter (Nov-April) and 32° C in summer (May-Oct). The sun shines for an average of 6.46 hrs each day in winter and 10.11 hrs in summer. The hottest period is from mid July to mid September.
The most popular site is Ghar Lapsi
Ghar means cave and Lapsi has something to do with easter. This site is ideal to bring along your whole family while you go for a dive your self. Ghar Lapsi is one of my favourite dive spots. I like to take my introduction divers here sins the water in the bay is shallow enough to stand up in and a barrier of rocks prevents the bay from waves roling in. the water is almost always calm. Besides that, the bay is filled with life, thousands of hermit crabs crawling there way up to the top of the rocks, I guess they do that in order to get a nice sun tan. Small fish are living in the protection of the rocky bay so they won`t get eaten by the hungry fishes that swim in the open.
