2012-09-05 - Xatt I Ahmar, Gozo Island, Malta
33m - 66 min - Dived with Unaccompanied from Moby Dives Co., Ltd.
First dive in Gozo, supposed to dive wreck of Caminoland, but missed it and dived around bollards n close in as too much sea grass at around 15m. Saw lots of shoals of snapper, bream, sea bass, blennies and a small cuttlefish.

Beautiful little harbour, picturesque. Easy pebble shore entrance, very few fish and life, nice though.
2012-09-07 - Crocodile Rock, Gozo Island, Malta
29m - 44 min - Dived with Olli from St Andrew's Divers Cove
Crock rock looks like a croc too! Lovely spectacular dive. Saw tiny moray, squat lobster, small shoals of dascallys, wrasse, bream, mackrel and a jellyfish on way up, lovely morn dive.
2012-09-08 - Ras Il Hobz, Gozo Island, Malta
27m - 49 min - Dived with Olli from St Andrew's Divers Cove
Road broken in Saturday's storm, but luckily we had Land Rover which managed it! Easy entry around coastline. Had been advised about sea horse, but failed to spot (maybe next time eh). In Maltese hobz means bread and the pinnacle means 'top of bread' which I could figure out. Lots snapper, bream, dascallys, beautiful scenic rock almost covered in carpet of plant life. Small moray and larger one which I poked, really nice dive.
2012-09-08 - Wied Il Mielah, Gozo Island, Malta
28m - 45 min - Dived with Olli from St Andrew's Divers Cove
All punters boat diving from Xlendi St Andrews keep their gear on during boat ride! Site newly open for approx a year as used to be sewage outlet! Spectacular wall with caves and pinnacles, lots barracuda and fish life. Wall covered in carpet of plant life, lots of gullies in rocks, broken anchors a-plenty too, lovely.
2012-09-09 - Blue Hole, Gozo, Malta
33m - 50 min - Dived with Olli from St Andrew's Divers Cove
Visited this site on Tuesday after Saturday storm and it was like a washing machine. Today it was calm. Long schlep down with the gear. Jumped in and under azure window. Dramatic scernery around and went towards Coral Garden, loads of fish n grouper (one fish had a hole in it!). Went up n through chimney - grrrreat. At end went into cave and looked out n back at the amazing blues of the Blue Hole, wow fab dive. Leg soup at the end, coming up in the middle of Spanish group of swimmers.
2012-09-09 - Ta Cenc, Gozo Island, Malta
32m - 56 min - Dived with Olli from St Andrew's Divers Cove
Beautiful site called red rock in Maltese. A huge estate owned by one guy (who is v nice apparently). About 90 steps down to where we took giant stride. Went in some very tight caves, grreat fun. Lots of miniscule tiny snails. Saw few fish, mackrel, bream, tompots, wrasse. Hike up the 90 steps not as bad as I thought it would be, but perhaps I wasn't bothered as it was a lovely dive. Thanks to all my buddies for a lovely dive holiday in Gozo, so signing off for now.
