Bruce's Tours - Malta

Early Start

The fun of this years Malta Experience began early.  As we set off down the runway at Bristol Airport, the plane developed a fault and we all had to return to the terminal for a 1 hour wait.  What can you do in an Airport terminal for 1 hour....a small glass of sherry perhaps to calm the nerves?  The delay turned out to be 6 hours, after which everyone was VERY calm!

The Diving

Sarah at Divewise had everything sorted for us as usual when we arrived, so the first days diving at Ghar Lapsi was off to a good start - except the Bar/Restaurant was closed!!! But no panic, we were just a bit early, and it opened while we were kitting up.....more nerve calming followed the dive.

During the week we also dived Comino, Gozo, The Rozi, El Farouk, Anchor Bay and a night dive at Zurrieq.

This years experience became a more competitive one than most with 2 buddies trying to outdo each other.  Tony took all trophies with the Deepest, Shortest and Longest (110 mins) dives, so as a special treat he was allowed to buy the drinks.  2nd prize went to Phil for the 'Fastest' dive!

This years Expedition members were: Tony, Nick, Pete, Alan, Phil, Lynda, Ian and Hayley (Badbrat)
