Time to wake up an old thread.
I'm just back from a trip to Malta. I got in some nice scuba diving in St. Paul's bay.
The water was warm and clear, and I got to see an octopus up close.
When we came a little bit too close it squirted ink.
Sorry, I don't have any pictures.
The first time I tried scuba diving was outside Aalesund, Norway in 1994 or 95, that was way colder even in a dry suit.
Oh yes, SSI Scuba Diver.
