This morning we headed to Coral Gardens near The Blue Hole for our first dive of around 20 metres. The OW students finished their last pool session and theory tests. After lunch, the fun divers split and the advanced party went to the Inland Sea whilst the other took on the tunnel in Xlendi Bay.
Finally at around 15:30, the OW students left the confines of the swimming pool and had their first trip in Xlendi Bay to a depth of around 8m.

Will & Timmy
Having left Plymouth on Saturday night, we travelled by minibus, plane, bus, ferry and another minibus to arrive at our base at Moby Dives on the island of Gozo.
7 of the students are taking the PADI Open Water course, 1 taking the Advanced OW and 5 are here purely for fun. Todays fun dives were in Xlendi Bay and at Raz-il Hobz in 23 degree water whilst the OW students were in the slightly colder swimming pool.
