It is probably the best site in the Mediterranean

All it took was one dive at the Blue Grotto, in Żurrieq, and retired fireman Peter Lemon was hooked.

Nearly 30 years and 80 trips later, Mr Lemon has racked up an incredible 2,000 dives in Malta, becoming so enamoured with the Maltese waters and dive sites that he wrote a book that is now in its third edition

26,000 times under waves for Maltese dive teacher

Joseph Chircop, known as Derek to his friends- which means all the Amphibians has logged his 26,000th dive on Monday, but speaking about his feat during the PADI ceremony on Saturday, he momentarily forgot where his milestone dive had taken place.

“It was Ċirkewwa,” he exclaimed eventually, after checking with his colleagues at Scubatech Diving Centre in St Paul’s Bay, where he was visited by a PADI representative.

September 2012 Wreck Dives

Thumb Imp Eagle

 The Imperial Eagle

In September, the Amphibians explored the wrecks of the HMS Hellespont paddle steamer and the Imperial Eagle ferry. Both these vessels provided essential services; the former as a tug boat operating in Grand Harbour up until WWII when she was severely damaged by enemy bombs and the other ferrying people and cargo between the islands of Malta and Gozo.

Here we capture some of the great moments of these wreck dives.
