DM Club Tech Week in Malta 2018

-
Malta is one of the popular destination for scuba divers, not only Recreational Divers but also Tech Divers. 
Maybe not so much for Fish Lovers, but cristal clear water and many kinds of wrecks in different depth, that is something other countries cannot offer.

DM Club Tech Week in Malta 2018 started on 21st of September. We used the facility and service of DiveSystems Malta. They are one of the best dive centres in the island. 
We used to live in Malta, working as Scuba Instructor about 5 years and we know DiveSystems is most capable dive centre there for Recreational and Technical Diving.

Our plan was to dive on HMS Stubborn (submarine, about 55m deep), HMS Southwald (ship wreck, about 70m deep), and Le Polynesian (ship wreck, about 60m deep).
Unfortunately, half of the plan had to be changed due to the strong wind coming from big storm covering Mediterranean.

Alternatively, divers were taken to new dive sites in Gozo. Since their gas mix was already made for the depth, they took that opportunity to get to this new dive site with depth. 
They all loved it!
Unfortunately, none of them were photography divers, so no pictures available.
We shall have someone with video or camera for next time.

Tech Diving is maybe not for everyone. It applies good planning, good gas calculation, good buoyancy control, good mental strength, etc.
If there is something you want to see at the depth, it worth going through those challenges.

Most pleasure diving is within Recreational Diving limits. Tech Diving is an additional option for your diving adventure.
If you are interested, you are always welcome to take "Try Tech Diving" and see if you like it or not.
If you enjoy it, it will be another option for you. If not, don't worry. There are plenty of divings that you can do within Recreational Diving limits.

After all, Diving is FUN!!

Paralenz DiveCamera+ (Plus) - Uncover the True Colour of Water World

Scuba diving is great adventure for people who love Sea/Ocean and marine creatures. Underwater Camera is one of the way to have fun in Scuba Diving. When I took a camera for the first time, I encountered Manta Rays..one shot at a far, 2nd shot coming closer, and 3rd shot right above my head!! Although it was many years ago, I remember that like yesterday. I usually take still photos. If it was a video, I started thinking, I could've shared that adventure with my none diver friends with more excitement than the pictures. Under the water, there is a little problem. Colours. As descending in water, we start losing colours. At about 5 metre, Red disappears, then Orange around 10 metre. Yellow at 20 metre and Green about 30 metre. There are a few good & easy software that we can adjust the colour on computer. For me, it is not easy...I can do well for still pictures but video is something I am not familiar with.. Paralenz  DiveCamera+ is perfect for someone like me!! It ha

Hollis - No Limit - Strength & Comfort for Drysuits

Hollis BTR-500 Drysuits Scuba diving...adventure in the Water World. Some of us may only dive in tropical warm water with wetsuits, but some of us are hard-core diver enough to enjoy cold water diving with drysuits. 4C degree water temperature may sound very cold, but if you are equipped & prepared for it, cold water diving can be quite fun. In UK, usually water is clearer in winter. It can be much better diving than in summer, in fact. Drysuits will become crucial for cold water diving. Let me introduce some Hollis Drysuits here. Hollis Drysuits in UK, unfortunately, did not have great start. Quality of the suits was not quite there and many suits had leaks after a few dives. Customer service was very poor just because of their internal problems. UK distributor and Hollis main office did not have good communication and relationship for years...That was such a shame for Hollis products were known as superior Technical Diving equipment in the rest of the world.

Being Good Diver is not about Certificate. Let's Go Diving!

All divers start from the basic diving certification called Open 1st Scuba Dive Lesson. All starts from here! Water Scuba Diver (SDI) or Open Water Diver (PADI) or equivalent. This certificate let you go scuba diving all over the world to the maximum depth 18m. Many divers stay with this level, enjoying beautiful coral reef and marine creatures, etc. Colours still stay well above 18m, so most dives will be nice and relaxing.  What's the next level? Advanced Adventure Diver (SDI) or Advanced Open Water Diver (PADI) or equivalent certificate will let you go diving maximum 30m deep, giving you more chance to go scuba diving. It won't be colourful like shallow diving but when there are ship wrecks at that depth or something else to see, you will not miss the opportunity. Then you may add Enriched Air Diver and Deep Diver certificate so that you can maximise your opportunity to dive more unto 40m deep. Let's Go Diving! Now, will you be a good diver if you take al
