Yepp, after a surface interval of around 5,136 hours we're back in the water. With NW Force 4-5 winds, we had to abandon our initial plan (and favourite spot) i.e. Cirkewwa and thus had to choose another location to test our equipment (and ourselves).
The first dilemma was where to actually dive; options: Fra Ben, Near Coastline / Taht il- Maghtab. Near Coastline was like the moon and smelled like gobon tas- sajd (for our foreign friends: smelled like cheese of fishing)and most of us (non adventurous divers) chickened out. Taht il- Maghtab was another spot but (especially myself) was scared of radiation, ninetopous / fishes with 3 heads. Thus we had to settle with FraBen.
Nice location for an orientation dive: Calm seas, shallow reef...perfect.
Positive notes: very relaxing / chillin dive, cool water, 63min under the sea, had the time to practice some oldskool tricks like the "Manta Ray" swim by Milo.
Negative notes: the only thing we saw was bloody alka....and loads of rubber jollys in the carpark! LOL!
Divers: Myself, Milo, Simon C, and a person we cannot mention (till tonight) for privacy purposes :P :P
Till next time fellas...hopefully next week we'll visit the Madonna of the Cave in Cirkewwa!

Surprise went perfectly well :D The person not to be mentioned can now be mentioned..you also forgot to mention the shark we saw...ie. a bright purple naudibranch which I was really excited to watch..but david was making fun of my excitement.
