π 2025-09-09 01:01 in Diving
I was back for Captured Festival 2025, and was able to take 2 extra days to go diving. This time, I knew Lewis and it made sense to go diving with him directly, which I did. Since basic shore based diving in Malta can be on the disappointing side at times, especially if weather doesn't cooperate, Lewis set us up with a boat on the first day (strangely boat diving is not much of a thing in Malta, so I had to rent the boat to myself), and the 2nd day, we rented DPVs, which are always fun on their own, but in this case also allowed easy reach of divesites without a boat. Much thanks to Lewis for coming up with that.

Day 1: Gozo and Camino Island

I met Lewis at the pier to get our boat:

After all these years of diving, I finally found Jesus ;)





Camino Island has very cool rocks, caves and holes for sure




it was filled with people indeed, thankfully diving was quite

I got super lucky with water quality on the first day. Outside of caves, we went to see Wrecks like the MV Karwela:












Next was the P31 Wreck, in very clear water:














Last were some nice caves around Camino Island:








Day 2: Gozo via DPV

The 2nd day, we went to Gozo via ferry and did DPV diving all day, which was both fun and gave access to sites that would have been difficult to get to.

Eaarly morning ferry to Gozo:

Blue hole was next and pretty cool:

The last dive was back on the main island due to high winds, so we took a ferry back to the main island and there was a great divesite just by the ferry arrival:



entry was a bit rough, but once in the water, it was great

With the DPVs, we arrived at P29 in no time, and water was clear:

And that was it, 4 more dives done, and thanks to somewhat better weather and Lewis' expertise, got 8 of the best dives you can get in Malta in 2 days, thanks Lewis.
